Marcos Leonardo scores winner for Nasaf Qarshi v Al-Hilal (Video) | OneFootball

Al-Hilal secured an important victory (3-2) against Nasaf Qarshi, in a match for the second round of the Asian Champions League. Marcos Leonardo, former Benfica player, stood out by scoring the goal that gave the victory to Simone Inzaghi's team.

Playing on enemy territory, it was Al-Hilal who opened the scoring of the match, with Milinkovic-Savic making it 1-0 at 21 minutes. The response from the home team was not long in coming and, six minutes later, Bakhromov equalized the score.

However, Marcos Leonardo's team would go to the break with the advantage in the match, after Theo Hernández scored the second goal for Al-Hilal already in the first half stoppage time, at 45'+2. The French player had already put the ball in the back of the opponents' net in the second minute of the game, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

In the second half, the substitutions by Nasaf Qarshi had an effect and Sidikov, who replaced Golban right at the start of the second half, scored the equalizer at 60', making it 2-2 on the scoreboard. However, Marcos Leonardo had other ideas and, after having scored twice in the previous match, he scored again, giving the victory to Al-Hilal in the 79th minute.

Al-Hilal has two wins in two games in the Asian Champions League. Inzaghi's team occupies the first position in the league phase standings of the Asian competition, being the isolated leader of the competition conditionally.
