Neymar Jr and Al Hilal achieved a disappointing result on the first day of the Asian Champions League. The Brazilian's team started the match in this competition, which is like the UEFA Champions League, but evidently from the Asian confederation, which includes the Saudi Pro League. Now, the player failed to place as expected and ended up equalizing against Navbahor.

 

Neymar's team started by losing this match. It could have been worse for Al Hilal, who tied in the 10th minute of stoppage time at the King Fahd Internacional Stadium in Riyadh thanks to a header from defender Ali Al-Bulaihi after trailing from the 52nd minute when Toma Tabatadze opened the scoring . Neymar played the entire match, corresponding to the first day of group D, and received a yellow card in the 60th minute for pushing an opponent and then throwing the ball at him. Neymar had a discreet game and even had an action where he could have been sent off.

This match showed that although there is an important difference between both clubs on an economic level, on the field of play, it was seen that the Uzbeks were close to winning against a team full of stars. According to Transfermarkt, Al Hilal has a club value of 258 million euros. However, the courage of Navbahor, the team they faced and was seconds away from winning the match, is surprising.

 

How much is Navbahor worth?

According to Transfermarkt, the Uzbekistan team is worth 1.16 million euros. An abysmal difference in terms of the talent and value that the Arab club has. However, an important point to note is that the average age in Navbahor-Farn Namang is 21.6 years old. An important factor that should be considered in this meeting. On the part of Al Hilal, despite Alexsandar Mitrovic, Malcom and Rúben Neves also playing, Jorge Jesus' Al Hilal was on the verge of losing. He had 76% possession and finished 20 times although the goal eluded him until the very long 16-minute stoppage time.
