Spanish international defender, Aymeric Laporte, led the Saudi Al-Nasr team to a difficult victory against Iran's Esteghlal Tehran, by scoring the only goal, in the match that was held on Tuesday evening, at Al Rashid Stadium in the Emirati city of Dubai.
Al-Nasr waited until the last ten minutes of the match to celebrate the only winning goal, which was scored by Aymeric Laporte with a header in the 81st minute, while advancing to play the offensive roles on a corner kick.
Al-Nasr did not perform as expected throughout the first half, as technical director Stefano Pioli was forced to make 3 changes between the two halves, with Sultan Al-Ghannam, Ali Al-Hassan and Ali Lajimi replacing Salem Al-Najdi, Abdullah Al-Khaibari and Muhammad Simakan.
The team's performance improved in the offensive aspects after Anderson Talisca participated in Angelo's place in the 65th minute. The long-awaited goal came in the 81st minute with Laporte's excellent follow-up to Ronaldo's header, which the Esteghlal goalkeeper brilliantly blocked after a corner kick was executed from the left side of the goal against the post.
