"They did so without star man Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portugal striker is again expected to be rested by coach Jorge Jesus. Ronaldo scored twice as Al-Nassr made it seven wins from seven to start the new Pro League season at the weekend, albeit it came in controversial fashion with the home team awarded a penalty 14 minutes into stoppage time of the clash with Al-Fayha."
"It's an honour for us to play these kinds of games, not only for the players, but for all FC Goa fans and for Indian football as a whole. These are moments everyone will remember for a long time. But we're not here just to admire the stadium or the occasion; we're here to compete in the best possible way against a big team like Al-Nassr."
Al-Nassr will seek to solidify top spot in Group D of the AFC Champions League 2 when they host FC Goa in Riyadh. The Saudi club have a 100 percent record after three games and beat Goa 2-1 last month. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be rested again, having not yet played in this continental campaign. Ronaldo scored twice as Al-Nassr made it seven wins from seven in the Pro League, with the weekend victory featuring a controversial stoppage-time penalty. Goa have recent domestic momentum but remain without a point in the continental competition. Coach Manolo Marquez stressed honour, confidence and the intent to compete and try to win.
