Al Nassr vs US Monastir LIVE Score: NAS 1 USM 1 (70')

The game is more stretched now. Cristiano Ronaldo will have to involve himself more in the match. Ronaldo finds Ghareeb, Ghareeb takes a decent shot but saved by Yeddes.

Adem Kouraichi finds the net again for US Monastir but he is deemed offside. It is still 1-1, but the Al Nassr defense was breached again.

Goal for Monastir - NAS 1 USM 1

Goaaaaaal!! It is a bizarre own goal from Al Nassr. A long ball is met on the head of Ali Lajami and flies past Nawaf at Al Nassr goal to give Monastir the lead. Clear miscommunication and a horrible goal to concede.

US Monastir Change

Bechir Ben Said is OFF for US Monastir and reserve goalkeeper Sadok Yeddes comes on for the Tunisian outfit.VE

62' - Bechir injured for US Monastir

There is an issue for Bechir Said. The US Monastir keeper has thrown the ball away and has gone down. It is not good news for the Tunisian club. They won't be best served if their captain now has to go off due to an injury.

Boubacar Traore is taken off and Adem Kouraichi comes on for Monastir.

57' - Lajami with a decent tackle

Chiheb Jbeli made a good run for Monastir and was running at the Al Nassr defense. Ali Lajami pairs up with Madu and makes a good tackle to halt his run and averts danger for Al Nassr. The fans of the Saudi club are so vibrant and loud.

54' - Nawaf sweeps out!

Nawaf Al-Aqidi now comes rushing out and gets hold of the ball to deny Boubacar Traore. First act in the second half for the Al Nassr keeper.

52'- Anderson Talisca fails tiki taka

Cristiano Ronaldo plays a decent improvized pass again but Anderson Talisca fails to clear Abdulrahman Ghareeb as another attack breaks down for Al Nassr.

Ronaldo denied by Bechir!

It was a superb chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to give Al Nassr the lead last time. And now Bechir Said saves Monastir again with an onrushing clearance. And he has injured himself in the process. The keeper came running and swept the ball away from Ronaldo's feet, but it looks like he is hurt from the impact.

Cristiano Ronaldo got a gift from the goalkeeper as his pass was straight at the Portugal international. But the Monastir keeper redeems himself with an excellent save. Great chance not taken by Ronaldo.
