Playing away at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd's stadium, Al-Nassr soon encountered difficulties against the home team's pressing play. In the 23rd minute, Al-Qadsiah opened the score when Turki Al Shamat finished close range after a combination on the right wing.
After conceding a goal, Al-Nassr pushed up the squad to look for an equalizer. Cristiano Ronaldo had a notable opportunity in the 33rd minute but his shot hit the crossbar. However, the away team still managed to equalize the score before the first half ended. In the 39th minute, from Marcelo Brozovic's cross, Joao Felix skillfully handled it and scored to equalize 1-1.
Stepping into the second half, Al-Qadsiah continued to take advantage of mistakes in the opponent's defense to re-establish the lead. In the 55th minute, Musab Al-Juwayr finished accurately in the penalty area, increasing the score to 2-1.
In the remaining time, Al-Nassr tried to increase the pressure but lacked sharpness in finishing. Before finding an equalizer, the away team conceded another goal in the 78th minute after Julian Quinones's goal, sealing a 3-1 victory for Al-Qadsiah.
This defeat caused Al-Nassr to drop important points in the final stage of the season, while Ronaldo personally had an unlucky match day when he could not score.
