Al Jazira 2:1 Al Nasr. ADNOC Pro League. Match Report
Early in the 2nd half Ali Khaseif made a rare error to give Sebastian Tagliabue a great opportunity but at the crucial moment he lost his footing, and the chance was lost.
On the hour mark, Oumar Traore finally put Al Jazira ahead with a well-taken goal, a ball was lofted over the static as Al Nasr defence allowed Traore to run through unchallenged and clinically slid the ball past the helpless goalkeeper.
Al Nasr scored a consolation goal in the 94th minute from a corner, when Sebastian Tagliabue who was left unmarked, calmly headed the ball past Ali Khasif from close range.
Apart from the first 10 minutes, Al Jazira dominated the game and could have scored more, due to the drawing board for Al Nasr who sat too deep and allowed Al Jazirah to play, delivering a disappointing performance.
Al Jazira will be pleased with the performance and the 3 points.
