Al Nasr players make the cover of The National Sport on May 18, 2016 after their resounding 4-1 win over Iran's Tractor Sazi in the first leg of their last-16 Asian Champions League encounter in Dubai.
John McAuley reported from Al Maktoum as a first foray into the knockout stages yielded a resounding first victory for Al Nasr, a historic night that hints at more to come.
The Dubai club, never beyond the groups in two previous attempts, emerged from their encounter against Iran's Tractor Sazi Tuesday evening with a sizeable lead, three goals to the good and with one foot in the quarter-finals.
A goal from Ahmed Al Yassi, two from substitute Salem Saleh and a late Mahmoud Khamis rocket sealed it, securing Nasr a real advantage to take to Tabriz next week.
