Al-Nassr and Al-Fayha cross swords in the second leg of the Round of 16 clash of the AFC Champions League with the home side already having a foot in the quarter-finals and the visitors vying for an illustrious comeback.
Al-Nassr were once again reliant on a familiar hero as former Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo broke the shackles in the 81st minute of the first leg to turn the result in their favour. The Saudi heavyweights have looked in sublime form in the competition and would want to continue this winning momentum with another win and march into the next stage of the AFC Champions League.
Al-Fayha, on the other hand, did their level best to keep the aggregate balanced but despite a 1-0 lead for their rivals, the visitors will fancy their chances of turning the scoreline on its head. The side dismantled Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League to end a shambolic run of domestic results and they would be aiming to produce an iconic upset at the Al-Awwal Park.
