Uzbekistan international goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov ensured Lokomotiv will go into the second leg of their 2016 AFC Champions League Round of 16 meeting with Al Hilal with a strong chance of reaching the last eight after the teams drew 0-0 at the King Fahd International Stadium on Tuesday. Nesterov twice denied the dominant Saudis gilt-edged opportunities to take a slender advantage into the return leg in Uzbekistan and the two teams will meet in Tashkent next week with the outcome – and a place in the quarter-finals - still in the balance. Lokomotiv, unbeaten in the competition so far this season and winners of Group A, looked to maintain their strong performances away from home and were set up from the beginning to give very little away. Al Hilal dominated possession but had few goal scoring opportunities to show from their control of proceedings until Carlos Eduardo put the ball in the net just before the half-hour mark, but his effort was ruled out for offside. Al Nasr beats Tractorsazi Tabriz Mahmoud Khamis' spectacular long-range goal a minute from time put the seal on an emphatic display by Al Nasr of the United Arab Emirates as Ivan Jovanovic's side handed Tractorsazi Tabriz a 4-1 thrashing in the first leg of their 2016 AFC Champions League Round of 16 meeting on Tuesday. El Jaish beats Lekhwiya El Jaish put one foot in the quarter-finals of the 2016 AFC Champions League on Tuesday after an emphatic 4-0 win over Qatar Stars League rivals Lekhwiya left Djamal Belmadi's side with a mountain to climb in next week's second leg of the Round of 16.
