Al-Nassr face another opponent, Istiklol, in the fifth match of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League.

🏠 FC Istiklol: Form and Statistics

Istiklol make their return to the AFC Champions League Two after a terrible run in the competition last season. Istiklol failed to win a game in the competition last season, with 6 consecutive losses in the group stage. This time around, they’ve had an average performance so far with two wins and two losses from the four games played. They are currently third placed in group D, level on points (6) with second placed Al-Zawraa. 

In the Tajikistan League this season, their performance has been really good as they are currently second placed in the league table with only four points behind the current league leaders, Vakhsh. Their first leg encounter against Al-Nassr was a disaster; Al-Nassr put five goals past Istiklol, and this might be the occasion again on Wednesday.

Al-Nassr enters this game with a perfect record in the league and in the AFC Champions League, alongside a phenomenal performance against Al-Khaleej in their last league game, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a wonderful bicycle kick. Cristiano Ronaldo’s bicycle kick completed a 4-1 victory for the Knights. 

Al-Nassr eased past Istiklol in the AFC Champions League Two opener. The Knights won by 5 goals to nil with goals from five different Al-Nassr players. Their second game in the AFC Champions League was against Al-Zawraa, and the team prevailed again with goals from Joao Felix and Al-Khaibari. Their third was against GOA. GOA gave the game their best shot, but it eventually ended in a 1-2 victory to Al-Nassr. Their fourth was the return leg against GOA, and it also ended in a 4-0 victory for Al-Nassr.
