Al-Nassr managed to equalize in the 30th minute through Angelo Gabriel, bringing the match back to square one and igniting the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands.

However, Al-Ittihad snatched the winning goal in stoppage time of the first half through Hossam Aouar, who struck a powerful shot that settled in the Al-Nassr net, ending the first half with a well-deserved lead for Al-Ittihad.

The task became complicated for Al-Ittihad in the second half after the expulsion of their player Ahmed Al-Jlaydan in the 50th minute due to a violent tackle, forcing the team to continue the match with ten players.

Al-Nassr attempted to come back in the final minutes with multiple shots totaling 21 attempts; however, Al-Ittihad's defense and goalkeeper skillfully thwarted them, allowing Al-Ittihad to maintain their lead until the final whistle and continue their journey confidently towards the coveted title.
