Neftchi Lose to Al-Nassr but remain in the Fight

Neftchi suffered a 3-1 defeat against Al-Nassr but remain on three points after two matches in the AFC Champions League Elite. Alibaev played the full match in a 1-0 home win over Iraq's Al-Shorta before being sent off in the 65th minute against Al-Nassr. Neftchi remain in contention, but will have to cope without Alibaev in their next match.
