The former RC Lens midfielder pounced on a pass from Al Ahli star Franck Kessie to curl a beautiful strike past Guinea-Bissau goalkeeper Ouparine Djoco in the opening four minutes of the tie.
The Al-Nassr midfielder was close to scoring his second goal for the night, but his curling effort was saved by Djoco’s finger in the 35th minute.
The Elephants put the game to bed with Jean-Philippe Krasso finding the back of the net in the 58th minute, according to a report by Soccerway.
