Nasr stuns Shabab, enters semis
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 04 - 2012

Shabab suffered a killer blow at the hands of Al-Nasr by losing the second leg match 2-1 in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup of Champions at King Fahd International Stadium Sunday.
Nasr was first to score in the 59th minute through Muhammad Al-Sahlawi.
Al-Sahlawi received a fine pass inside the penalty box and he did not find any difficulty in placing the ball on the right hand side of the goalkeeper.
Shabab pushed forward in search of an equalizer and another goal to level the aggregate. Its repeated attempts finally paid off in the 72nd minute from a strong header by Nasser Al-Shamrani.
Shabab pushed forward for an aggregate equalizer. But Shabab's dream was shattered and its hopes for a third title went up in smoke when Nasr took the lead again, this time, through Venesio Richy in the 74th minute.
After receiving a fine cross inside the penalty box he blasted the ball into the back of the net.
Nasr then managed to take control of the midfield and kept Shabab in its half.
Nasr will clash with the winner between Ittifaq and Al-Fateh.
Lyon wins French Cup
Lyon collected its first trophy in four years when it beat a spirited Quevilly 1-0 to win the French Cup for a fifth time Saturday.
Striker Lisandro Lopez scored the winning goal.
Despite an annual budget of €1.9 million ($2.5 million) compared to Lyon's €150 million, it was far from a mismatch as Quevilly harried Lyon all over the field, even though the semiprofessional had few chances.
Quevilly plays two divisions below Lyon in the National League __
