Match Report
The clash provided a reunion for former Real Madrid team-mates Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who joined Al Ittihad in the summer transfer window.
Al Ittihad took an early lead through Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 14th minute, but Al Nassr were soon awarded a spot-kick which Ronaldo dispatched down the middle to level five minutes later.
Talisca sent Al Nassr ahead in the 38th minute but Hamdallah equalised six minutes into the second half.
Ronaldo scored from the spot again in the 68th minute to retake the lead and bag his 53rd goal of 2023.
Al Ittihad were reduced to 10 men in the 66th minute when Fabinho was dismissed and Sadio Mane struck in the 75th and 82nd minutes to seal victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo's replacements Wout Weghorst & Rasmus Hajlund have ZERO (0) goals in 31 league games. Cristiano Ronaldo in 21/22 had 18 in 30 and was still slandered for it. Tells you everything about the state of Man Utd.

Reporter: CR7 and Messi who is the best player? Diego Simeone: difference between them is that if you take CR7 and put him in your squad, you are going to win. But if you take Messi, he will tell you to bring the Barcelona midfielder. So the best player is known💯😄 Simeone is a legend of Argentina and also a experience manager for many years if he said that, what shows you that Messi is the best player and you are in Africa, you see him on the screen.😅😅🤣
