Al-Nassr's five-goal thrashing of Al-Zawraa lights up Asia.

Match Highlights

The AFC Champions League 2 clash between Saudi club Al-Nassr and Iraqi side Al-Zawraa produced a slew of notable numbers on Wednesday night.

Al-Nassr swept aside Al-Zawraa at The First Park, winning 5-1 to move to 18 points and extend a perfect six-game run.

That was the fifth five-goal win for the side this season, underscoring their attacking prowess under Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus.

It marked the second five-goal triumph in Asia after their opening-round 5-0 win over Istiklol Dushanbe.

Frenchman Kingsley Coman struck twice for the visitors, his first goals for Al-Nassr since arriving in the summer window.

Al-Nassr's ongoing form has turned heads in the competition, with Jesus guiding a fluid lineup featuring rapid counters and clinical finishing.

Coman's double adds to a growing résumé as a marquee signing heating up discussions across Asia.

Punchline 1: Five goals in six games—somebody tell the calendar it's not a sci‑fi script.

Punchline 2: If football stats had a fashion show, tonight's numbers would walk the runway in style.
