In this away trip, the Al-Nassr coach decided to leave Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix on the bench to rotate the force. Although they did not field their strongest squad, the yellow team only took 8 minutes to get ahead. From Angelo's shot, the ball hit Abu Bakr's foot and changed direction, leaving Al Mosailem's goalkeeper helpless to watch the net shake.
With an early opening goal, Al-Nassr easily controlled the match. The visitors maintained strong pressing ability, almost giving Jeddah a chance to attack. The home team also responded twice, in which goalkeeper Al-Mosailem had to show his ability to save consecutive losses, but it was still not enough to change the situation.
Entering the second half, Al-Nassr accelerated by gradually sending the stars onto the field. Wesley increased the score to 2-0 in the 62nd minute with a beautiful curleria. In the 71st minute, Felix made his mark when he finished accurately after an assist from Coman. Not stopping there, in the 89th minute, center back Simakan jumped high to head the ball from a corner kick taken by Felix, ending the big 4-0 win for Al-Nassr.
Players who scored for Al-Nassr included: Abu Bakr (against the net, 8th minute), Wesley (minute 62), Felix (minute 71) and Simakan (minute 89). With this performance, the runner-up of the Saudi Pro League shows that they are ready to conquer the domestic title in the new season, in the context that Ronaldo is still being saved for more important matches.
The easy victory over Jeddah not only helped Al-Nassr qualify for the next round but also affirmed the depth of the team's strength, as the new recruits and reserves all knew how to shine when given the opportunity.
