Sadio Mane and Joao Felix came to the score sheet for the winner while Steven Bergwijn found the back of the net before Ittihad.

Only six minutes later, Steven Bergwijn yielded the cutback of Moussa Diaby and recovered parity. Ittihad received an advantage after Mane received a red card for an annoying tackle on ‘keeper al-Shanqiti.

Although he was a man, Nassr was the more impressive side after the break.

Nassr took the lead for the second time in the game after a VAR review had reversed a decision on the field that Cristiano Ronaldo had supposed to be offside. The Nassr skipper was played on goal before he decided to fight it to his fellow countryman Joao Felix, who just had to tap it on the net.

Minutes later Felix thought he had scored his second in the night, but Var, this time, ruled the goal after Ronaldo Fabinho had polluted in the structure.

Al Nassr, the winner of the other semi -final will be confronted that will be played between Al Qadisiyah and Al Ahli Saudi on Wednesday.
