Ivan Boskovic scored four times in the record 9-0 rout of Dempo last week in Uzbekistan and the striker picked up where he left off against Al Ansar as he broke the deadlock with just quarter of an hour gone.

However, Ali Nassereddine leveled for the home side in the 26th minute and it appeared both sides were heading for a point until three goals in the dying moments saw Nasaf run out winners.

First, substitute Nosirbek Otakuziev found the back of the net with just one minute left on the clock to put the Uzbeks in front.

Then in stoppage time, Lutfulla Turaev scored the third goal before another replacement, Mirzakamol Kamalov, grabbed a fourth to give the scoreline an unrealistic look.

While the result serves as further confirmation Nasaf will be one of the side's to beat in this year's tournament, it leaves Al Ansar still with work to do to reach the last 16.

Al Tila’sl 2-2 draw against Dempo in Goa leaves the Lebanese side leading both clubs by two points ahead of their trip to India next week.
