55’

Mane’s shot from the right of the box is blocked by Cuellar.

Al Shabab’s Diallo with a curled shot at goal from the left of the box. Alaqidi does not even have to move an inch to make the save. He collects it around his midrif.

51’

Gustavo Cuellar with an interception off Otavio. The Portuguese had got a pass in space from Mane but cannot create a threatening chance out of it.

49'

SAVE! Kim is asked to make a save. Ghanam with a shot. He packed a lot of power in that, hitting it off his laces. A corner for Al Nassr.

47’

Bahbri with a shot from the top of the box. The left-footed strike only rams into the defender and Al Shabab builds again.

46’

Back for the second half

The referees are back out in the middle and we’re almost set for the second period to get underway.

Half Time: NAS 3-0 SHB

The six minutes of stoppage time comes to an end.

A half that belonged to Al Nassr through and through. Ronaldo carrying his scoring run forward and scoring a brace and Mane adding the third goal. There was some drama too after Ronaldo’s goal was disallowed but the Portuguese international ensured he and his side move beyond that and stay ahead in the game.

45’

CHANCE FOR AL SHABAB! Al Sebyani beats Mane on the left and enters the box. He puts the cross along the ground. Alaqidi dives to save it but fumbles. Thankfully for him, the loose ball lands at a defender’s feet who clears it away.

43’

An animated argument between Sadio Mane and Iago Santos. The Al Shabab defender was not happy with Mane’s rough tackle.

A booking for both the players.

41’ NAS 3-0 SHB - Sadio Mane

SADIO MANE SCORES! Al Nassr is running away with this. Brozovic from the left to Ronaldo in the centre, Ronaldo to Mane on the right and in the box. The Senegalese sends it past Kim with a sliding shot.

40’

Al Nassr’s Alaqidi comes racing out of his goal line to clear a through ball.

38’ NAS 2-0 SHB - Cristiano Ronaldo

The entire stadium breaks out into “SIUUUUUU” in unison. Cristiano Ronaldo doubles the lead for Al Nassr.

Same spot from the Portuguese. This time the keeper guesses the direction right but still fails to stop the ball.

24’

Mane wins the ball in the final third and aims a cross at Cristiano Ronaldo in the box. Way off the mark as the ball runs out for a goal kick.

18’ NAS 1-0 SHB - Cristiano Ronaldo goal disallowed

It is the most simple header for Cristiano Ronaldo from the corner delivery. The defender marking him goes down but the referee did not see any foul there.

Oh no hang on! The VAR has asked the referee for a check on the goal. Ronaldo indeed pushed his marker. And the referee upon seeing the replays deems it appropriate to reverse his decision.

18'

Ronaldo tries to take on Al Sagourq inside the penalty area. He gets the nutmeg but there is a deflection on the way and Al Nassr gets a corner.

OFFSIDE! Brozovic gets a through ball in for Ronaldo but the assitant raises his flag for offide.

15’

This is beginning to look like one way traffic. Al Nassr pumping in the pressure. Sadio Mane breaks out on a counter right after the restart.

13’ NAS 1-0 SHB - Cristiano Ronaldo

There’s a familiar sight! Cristiano Ronaldo beats Kim in goal to convert from the spot. Never in doubt, was it?

AL NASSR LEADS!

12’

The referee after consultation with the VAR award a penalty to Al Nassr. The ball struck the defender’s arm and it seemed to be far enough from his body to be deemed an illegal obstruction.

11’

Appeals for handball from Al Nassr when an Al Sagour blocks a shot from the right flank. VAR going through the play right now.

10’

SAVED! Kim denies Brozovic who took the shot from outside the box.

9’

Al Nassr right back Ghanam gets the ball in the final third. He sees Otavio make a run for the near post and puts in the cross. The ball misses the Portuguese by the slightest.

8’

Al Nassr starting to look confident on the ball.

6’

A LUCKY ESCAPE FOR AL NASSR! Al-Muwallad is in behind for Al Shabab and he is one on one. To make matters worse, Laporte trips him from behind. Would have been a certain penalty had the runner not been offside.

5’

A corner for Al Nassr. The side is able to put the ball with a cross but only to see it cleared by the opposition back line.
