LIVE Al Nassr vs Al Hazm score, King Cup of Champions: NAS 0-0 HAZ; First-half underway, Ronaldo not playing

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.
