The contest at King Abdullah Sports City started with Al-Nassr gaining an advantage as early as the ninth minute, when Sadio Mane scored the opening goal for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in goal-scoring form this season, got his name on the scoresheet, finding the back of the net in the 35th minute, doubling Al-Nassr’s lead.
