Al Nassr had already been in control long before Ronaldo’s late fireworks. Joao Felix opened the scoring in the 39th minute, steering Angelo’s low cross into the bottom corner. Just three minutes later, Felix turned provider, winning the ball high up the pitch and setting up Wesley, who curled a superb effort into the top right corner to make it 2–0.

Al Khaleej responded early in the second half through Hawsawi, who pulled one back with a powerful long-range strike only two minutes after the restart. The visitors kept pushing, but goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi produced crucial saves to maintain Al Nassr’s lead.

With the pressure rising, Sadio Mane restored control for Al Nassr in the 77th minute, placing a composed first-time finish into the net for their third goal.
