Al Nasr’s Salem Saleh celebrates his early goal against Tractor Sazi in Wednesday’s Asian Champions League last-16 encounter in Iran to make the cover of The National Sport on Wednesday, May 25, 2016.
The Dubai club's unlikely journey into the last eight of the tournament – the first time they have reached this stage – continues despite a helter-skelter night in Tabriz, when Iran's Tractor Sazi triumphed 3-1 in the last-16 second leg, but still went down 5-4 on aggregate. One goal the difference, yet two sides now worlds apart, with Nasr through to the quarter-finals later this year. Their historic run sustains.
