JEDDAH (Reuters) -Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli blamed an error-strewn display for his Saudi Pro League side's semi-final exit from the Asian Champions League Elite on Wednesday as the Riyadh-based outfit were handed a 3-2 defeat in Jeddah by Japan's Kawasaki Frontale.
The Cristiano Ronaldo-led team had gone into the meeting at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium as favourites to progress only to be dumped out of the competition by the J-League side, who will face Al-Ahli in Saturday's final.
