In an exciting match of the first round of the Elite ACL held yesterday, Al Ahli defeated Nasaf 4-2 at home. As the fans expected, the match was full of drama and goals.
Norchayev - leader in grades
According to Sofascore, Husayn Norchayev, who scored twice for Nasaf, became the best player for his team. He scored 8.4 points and stood out not only for his goals, but also for his actions. In this match, he inspired his teammates and created several dangerous attacks.
Nasaf's defense is a weak link
At the same time, the opposition's defensive line did not demonstrate sufficiently reliable play. For example, such players as Sherzod Nasrullayev (5.1), Sardor Bakhromov (5.5), and Alibek Davronov (5.5) received low scores. This was one of the main factors in the team's defeat. Goalkeeper Abduvokhid Nematov was also rated at 5.7 points - this indicator further revealed Nasaf's distrust at the last line.
Stars shine in the ranks of "Al Ahli"
For the hosts, Enessi Millo was named the best player of the match - 8.9 points. He dominated the center of the field, breaking through the opponent's defense several times. Riyad Mahrez, with 8.0 points, became one of Al Ahli's main weapons through his impressive moves and effective dribbling in the game. Muhammad Suleiman, who came on as a substitute, scored 8.2 points and made a significant contribution to his team's victory.
Conclusion
Nasaf's actions in the attacking line can be highly praised. However, errors in defense and fatigue in the final minutes cost the team dearly. Al Ahli, on the other hand, gained an advantage thanks to experienced stars and clear tactical changes within the game.
This match serves as a big lesson for Nasaf - there is effectiveness in attack, but lack of confidence in defense remains a serious problem.
