From the onset, Al-Nassr controlled proceedings and rarely looked troubled. The hosts’ dominance paid off in the 25th minute, when Félix rose highest to meet Aiman Yahya’s precise cross, guiding a looping header into the top-right corner to open the scoring.

Félix nearly doubled the lead minutes later with a powerful left-footed effort cleared off the line, before Angelo’s deflected strike clipped the crossbar on the brink of halftime.

In the second half, Bruno Varela produced a fine reflex save to deny Ronaldo as Al-Hazem sank deeper under constant pressure. The Portuguese star eventually sealed the win in the 88th minute, meeting Wesley’s low cross with a scuffed first-time strike that bounced over Varela and into the net.

The result keeps Al-Nassr’s title ambitions firmly on track, with their star-studded attack once again proving decisive.
