The match saw Cristiano Ronaldo’s side fall behind early on, as Fabio Martins gave Al Khaleej a lead in just 4 minutes. However, Al Nassr responded well and were soon level, thanks to Alvaro Gonzalez’s first goal for the club.
The home side then had chances to take the lead, with Ronaldo and Talisca both coming close in the second half. However, they were denied by some superb saves from Al Khaleej keeper Marwan Al-Haidari.
As the match wore on, Al Nassr pushed for a winner, but they were unable to break down a stubborn Al Khaleej defense. Substitute Abdulelah Al-Amri had a golden opportunity to snatch all three points in added time, but he failed to hit the target.
