In the 15th minute, Abdulrahman Ghareeb opened the scoring with a powerful shot from inside the box. Just a few minutes later, Angelo doubled the lead before Wesley added a third goal late in the first half, helping Al Nassr almost decide the game in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, coach Jorge Jesus continued to put on stars like Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman and Marcelo Brozovic to increase the pressure.

Just 5 minutes after the break, Coman soloed and scored to make it 4-0. In the 49th minute, Mane decisively finished from Ghareeb's pass, sealing a convincing 5-0 victory.

Meanwhile, Istiklol was almost helpless. Efforts from Dzhalilov and Panjshanbe could not penetrate Al Nassr's defense. They even received two more yellow cards for their aggressive play.
