"It was a difficult match. We weren't fully present in the first half and conceded twice, but we knew we had to show our character in the second half,"
"It was fantastic to see the team play with one spirit alongside our fans, and I truly enjoyed watching my players score goal after goal with such passion. It was important for us to be on the winning side today, and I must emphasise how proud I am of the team after their comeback and the incredible four goals they scored."
Al-Ahli trailed Nasaf 2-0 at half-time after Husain Norchaev scored in the 34th and 41st minutes following a poor first-half showing. Enzo Millot scored twice within three minutes after the break to level the match by the 68th minute. Riyad Mahrez curled a low shot into the net in the 94th minute to give Al-Ahli the lead. Alibek Davronov was sent off in the 103rd minute for a last-man foul on Ivan Toney, and Mohammed Sulaiman finished close-range two minutes later to secure the 4-2 win. Al-Ahli extended their Champions League Elite winning streak to eight matches and recorded their first home win after trailing at half-time since April 2015.
