Keeping number 1 striker Cristiano Ronaldo put Al Nassr under early pressure from a series of dangerous attacks from the home team in the first 15 minutes.

Shots from Maytham Jabbar, Akam Hashim and Abdulkareem all made Al-Nassr's goal shake, but goalkeeper Bento made excellent saves, keeping the net steady.

In contrast, the Saudi Arabian team was quite slow in getting into the rhythm. It was not until the 20th minute that they had a notable moment when Al-Ghannam shot over the bar, while Joao Felix also tried to finish but to no avail.

In the second half, the turning point came in the 52nd minute. Just coming on as a substitute, Al-Khaibari fired a low, dangerous shot from outside the box, opening the score for Al Nassr. The goal helped the away team play more confidently, and at the same time forced Al-Zawra'a to attack.

As the opponent was busy looking for an equalizer, a gap appeared in the defense. In the 81st minute, Joao Felix seized the opportunity to shoot accurately, raising the score to 2-0 for Ronaldo's team.

In the final minutes, although Al-Zawra'a tried to attack, Bento's solidity and defense made them helpless. Al-Nassr won three convincing points, consolidating their position in the leading group.

Al Nassr: Al Khaibari 52', Felix 81'
