Al Nassr vs Al Hazm highlights, King Cup of Champions: NAS 2-1 HAZ; Boushal scores stoppage-time winner

Al Nassr goes through to the round of 16 after beating Al Hazm with a late goal. Hazm put up a good fight but unfortunately for the home side, it is knocked out of the cup competition!

Al Nassr’s Boushal scores in stoppage time to potentially win the game!!

Al Nassr is attacking on all fronts with its defence pushing extremely high but Hazm is sitting in its own box fending off the attacks.

Hazm scores as the forward gets a great through ball as he chips it over the keeper and finished it into the net only for the ref to yell offside!

Mane was through on goal as he received a long ball at his feet inside the box but the Hazm keeper makes a fantastic save, since the shot was too down the middle.

Yoda gets a long ball on the right wing as he squared it into the box for Alsayyali whose shot struck the crossbar and bounced into the net!!!!

Ghareeb squanders a golden chance!

Hazm defender makes pass into no-man’s land as Ghareeb reaches the ball first with the keeper off of his line as well but his shot goes miles over the post!

Otavia gets a threaded pass inside the box but instead of taking a shot, he decides to square it to Talisca but the pass is intercepted.

The games resumes with Hazm trailing at its home stadium but by a fine margin.

Al Nassr took the lead right at the half-time whistle. Hazm would be proud of its game so far but needs to start doing better in the final third in order to at least draw the game in regulation time.

Sultan crosses it from the right wing for Mane as he heads it into the net!

Six minutes added time in the first-half!

Mane dribbles down the left flank but is topped by the Hazm backline.

Ali goes down for Nassr after a rash tackle but he seems to be okay and continues to play. Moments later he went down again on his own and walked off the pitch and subbed off for Alkhaibari.

A big chance for Hazm as Al Dhuwayhi squares it into the box but it is cleared away by the Nassr backline before any damage.

Hazm is keeping it tight at the back and hence it is forced to operate on counter atacks. That too hasn’t been working for it since it keeps playing poor passes in the middle of the park.

Talisca tries to take a shot but blunders it in front of goal as the ball goes to Mane who taps it into the net, however, he was in an offside position!

Nassr stitches up a few good passes as Mane threads it into the box for Boushal from the left but his shot is saved!

The free-kick is taken by Talisca and the ball strikes the cross-bar, Al Nassr almost took the lead!

Talisca brought down at the edge of the box as Nassr gets a free-kick from a dangerous position.

Ghareeb takes a shot on goal after Mane misses his header but the keeper saves it for Hazm!

The game has kicked off as Hazm is passing the ball around with caution against heavyweight Nassr.

Al Nassr will travel to Buraidah to face Al Hazm in the King Cup of Champions round of 32 match on Monday at 9:05 PM IST at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Al Hazm was relagted from the top division, Saud Pro League last season since it finished rock bottom but is in a decent form in its league having won its opening three matches and drawing its last game.

Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted during training and having scored in his last game against Al Ettifaq, is likely to feature again against Hazm.

With two wins and two draws, Al Nassr is fifth in the league and has made a decent start to its new campaign. This will also be only its second game under the management of new coach Stefan Pioli.
