“The goal today was simple – to win and give more Saudi Arabia players a chance so the national team coach could observe them. I think several made a good impression.

“This match was as important as the last. Al Nassr always play to win and maintain quality. We’ve both conceded and scored plenty, and today was no different.
"The fans are rightly excited about our season but we must stay focused as we haven’t won anything yet. We’re top of the (domestic) league, but there’s still a long way to go.”

Despite defeat, FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez was proud of his side’s courage against a team many believe will go all the way.
“We approached the first half with discipline and created chances but only conceded from a fantastic free-kick. Still, we could have done more. In matches like this, we must take more risks,” said Marquez.
“Al Nassr’s pressing is on another level; they attack relentlessly, and once we lose the ball, they’re right back at us. Congratulations to them – I hope they go on to win both this competition and their (domestic) league.”
