RIYADH — Al Nasr closed the gap on Group A leaders Persepolis to just a single point after a cracking effort by Adrian Mierzejewski and late goals by Fabian Estoyanoff and Hassan Al Raheb gave the Saudi league champions a 3-0 win at King Fahd International Stadium on Tuesday. Mierzejewski fired home from range in the 32nd minute and Estoyanoff and Al Raheb struck in the closing minutes as Al Nassr picked up their first victory in the group after draws in their first two games against Uzbek side Bunyodkor and Qatari champions Lekhwiya. Persepolis gave a good account of themselves for much of the game but they were left to rue their missed opportunities to grab an equaliser before the late goals as they dropped points for the first time in this season's competition.
