The falling American Laport scored a winning goal close to the end of the match, bringing "Nasra" to victory with a score of 1-0 over the hosts of the field, Iranian "Esteghlal," in the Asian Champions League match. The game took place at the Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum Stadium in Dubai today, on Tuesday.
The team, under the guidance of coach Stefan Pily, finished in fourth place in the Western group, earning seven points. "Esteghlal" remains in sixth place in the table with three points.
Cristiano Ronaldo strongly struck near the Esteghlal goal, and reserve Taliska probed the right corner in the second half. It seemed that the match was heading for a draw until Ronaldo did not accept a corner kick and redirected his header into the goal, colliding with opposing defender Hussein Hussein. However, Laport followed the ball with a header into the net, securing "Nasra"'s victory with valuable three points.
