 "FC Goa vs Al Nassr AFC Champions League 2 live match time and streaming")
FC Goa faces a massive challenge as they host Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr in their AFC Champions League Two (ACL2) fixture at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao on Wednesday. Head coach Manolo Marquez struck a calm tone ahead of the game, emphasising fundamentals over star power. “Football is about defending, passing, and transitions,” he said, downplaying the clear gulf in quality between the two sides.
Al Nassr sits comfortably atop Group D with two dominant wins, a 5-0 thumping of FC Istiklol and a 2-0 win over Al Zawraa. FC Goa, meanwhile, is yet to score a goal or register a point, having lost both matches 2-0.
No Ronaldo but stars a plenty
With Cristiano Ronaldo absent from the squad, focus shifts to other Al Nassr stars such as Joao Felix, fresh from a hat-trick, Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman, and Abdulrahman Ghareeb. The FC Goa defence, led by Sandesh Jhingan and Pol Moreno, will be under constant pressure.
For the hosts, Brandon Fernandes and Dejan Drazic will be crucial in launching counter-attacks, while Javier Siverio will need to make the most of aerial chances. Goa may find opportunities in set pieces but must remain defensively compact to avoid being overwhelmed.
Despite the uphill task, Marquez acknowledged the excitement the clash brings. “It’s a big occasion, not just for us, but for our fans,” he said. With little to lose and everything to prove, FC Goa will look to punch above their weight in what is surely their toughest test yet.
