Al Nassr vs Al Shabab LIVE: ALN 3 ALS 0 (68')

Habib Diallo now misses a sitter. He hit the post and his second attempt was palmed away by Alaqidi. But Alas! it wouldn't have counter as the Al Shabab striker was offside.

Cristiano Ronaldo finds the back of the net again but it is offside again. Otavio was offside this time and the Portuguese looks like he knew it already.

The Al Nassr fans have created a noisy spectacle in the stadium. Meanwhile, Al Nassr miss an inexplicable chance again. Sadio Mane should scored there but it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo was initially offside.

Al Nassr vs Al Shabab LIVE: ALN 3 ALS 0 (63')

Miss!! Abdulrahman Ghareeb misses the penalty as he rattles the post. Strange decision to give it to Ghareeb when Ronaldo was on a hattrick, but the chance is not taken by the young Saudi Arabia star.

Al Nassr vs Al Shabab LIVE: ALN 3 ALS 0 (61')

Penalty!! The third penalty of the match. Otavio's shot touches the outstretched hands of Iago dos Santos and Al Nassr get the spot kick.

Sadio Mane did well to engineer an opportunity from a modest situation. In the end the shot comes from Abdulrahman Ghareeb but the keeper saves it.

Decent move by Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo takes a left footed shot but it goes straight at the Al Shabab keeper.

Comfortable stop for Alaqidi. Al Shabab striker Habib Diallo cuts inside and takes a shot, which goes straight in the lap of the Al Nassr custodian.

Another Al Shabab attack breaks out due to lack of quality in the final third. But the positive thing for them is that the away side are at least creating some decent moments at the attacking half.

Al Nassr vs Al Shabab LIVE: ALN 3 ALS 0 (50')

Patient play by Al Nassr in this half. Sadio Mane and Otavio combined but they lost the ball. And then Otavio fouls Al Shabab captain Ever Banega to concede a free kick.

Sultan Al Ghanam gives a crack to it and a peculiar save by the Al Shabab keeper. It looked like he went too far sideways of the ball.

Al Nassr vs Al Shabab LIVE: ALN 3 ALS 0 (47')

First attack from Al Shabab. A good run from Fawaz Al Sagourq but his left-footed shot is blocked.

The second half starts. Marcelo Brozovic in the move in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd half and just fails to find Cristiano Ronaldo.

We are back for the 2nd half at Al Awal Park. Al Nassr would aim to continue their domination, and for Al Shabab, it is time for damage limitation.
