BRAZIL STAR Neymar opened his account for Al Hilal finally on Tuesday, scoring in his side’s 3-0 victory in the Asian Champions League against Iran’s Nassaji Mazandaran in Tehran.
The goal, a sweeping left-footed finish on 58 minutes, represented Neymar’s first for Hilal in five matches. Former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic had opened the scoring on 18 minutes with a header, with substitute Saleh Al Shehri securing the result in injury-time to lift the four-time winners, runners-up last year, top of Group D.
Both Hilal and Nassaji Mazandaran were forced to play the majority of the match in the Iranian capital with 10 men, after the Saudi side’s captain Salman Al Faraj was sent off alongside Amir Houshmand seven minutes before half-time – both for violent conduct. In Group A, 2003 winners Al Ain maintained their 100% record with a 4-2 home success against Turkmenistan’s Ahal, while Saudi side Al Fayha ran out 2-0 winners at home to Uzbekistan’s Pakhtakor. Al Ain of the UAE are top, three points ahead of Ahal and Fayha.
