Overview
- Ivan Toney scored twice for Al-Ahli before Merih Demiral netted the second-half winner, while Al-Nassr’s Al Amiri answered with a brace.
- Referee sent off Al-Ahli’s Ali Majrashi in stoppage time for slapping João Félix during a mass confrontation.
- Al-Nassr’s Boushal later received a straight red for a last-man foul near the end of the match.
- After the final whistle, Félix engaged in a heated exchange with Al-Ahli sporting director Rui Pedro Braz before staff intervened.
- Cristiano Ronaldo was largely on the periphery and visibly frustrated as coverage in Spain and Italy criticized Al-Nassr’s display, though the leaders remain two points clear with Al-Hilal able to go first by winning at Damac.
