Coman hat-trick books Asian final for Al Nassr - but star warns nothing won yet
Coman hat-trick books Asian final for Al Nassr - but star warns nothing won yet One match from a first trophy with Al Nassr, and one month from what could prove a dazzling double, but Kingsley Coman is stressing nothing has been achieved - yet. The France international, enjoying a fine debut season with the Riyadh club , was the goal hero on Wednesday night as Al Nassr sealed a spot in a first AFC Champions League Two final. The Roshn Saudi League leaders triumphed 5-1 against Qatar’s Al Ahli in their last-four clash in Dubai, with Coman netting a hat-trick.
It told only part of the story, though. Al Nassr had to rely on goalkeeper Bento saving a 7th-minute penalty and then rebound from a goal down to eventually prevail. Wing wizard Angelo and in-form winter signing Abdullah Al Hamdan got the other goals.
And so, 2025-26 could emerge as a season to remember. Because, not only will Al Nassr contest the continental final, next month against Japan's Gamba Osaka at their own Al Awwal Park, but with five full rounds remaining in the RSL, they sit top, eight points clear of second-placed Al Hilal. However, for the moment at least, Coman isn’t counting any chickens.
" It was a very good game," the summer signing from Bayern Munich said. "We showed good reaction after [conceding] the first goal and that’s the way to play. I’m very happy with the performance.
Now we go back with confidence and give everything to [our] league [campaign]. "This season has been good, but the league and Champions League Two have not been won yet. We are in a good way, but we know we still have to give everything to win the titles.
