AFC Women's Champions League
The win sees the Uzbekistan side tied on six points with College of Asian Scholars, who they meet on Sunday.
Al Nassr started on the front foot with Shuruq Alhwsawi testing Nasaf keeper Maftuna Jonimqulova from distance as early as the second minute, while at the other end Lyudmila Karachik’s low shot from the edge of the box was easily collected by Mona Alowais.
The Saudi Arabian side had another look at goal two minutes later when Ruth Kipoyi cut inside into the box with only Jonimqulova to beat but the midfielder sent her shot off target.
Nasaf almost caught Al Nassr off guard just before the half hour mark when Gulzoda Amirova set Karachik free on the left with the forward drilling a low drive, forcing Alowais into a fine save.
Al Nassr started the second half strongly and came close to breaking the deadlock in the 51st minute when Kathellen Feitoza saw her headed attempt off a set-piece situation parried away by Jonimqulova.
Another chance went begging for Nasaf three minutes later when Nilufar Kudratova played a delightful ball into the box for Nataliia Simakina, whose shot was foiled by Alowais.
Kudratova then saw her stinging shot saved by Alowais in the 70th minute with the keeper turning the ball away for a corner.
But it was Karachik who had the final say when she scored off the resulting corner with Alowais misjudging the flight of the ball.
