WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to the Saudi Sports Company (SSC) after the game, the Al-Nassr head coach didn't hold back his feelings, stating: "The result is definitely bad, and we are not happy."
He added, taking aim at his players: "I don’t feel satisfied with the players' performance. I asked them to play at the same level as the last game [a 5-0 win over Al-Adalah], but this didn’t happen.
"There are seven games left, we will try to recover, and we realize that it’s not easy after we lost two points, but everything is possible."
