The last place team in the league provided an intriguing challenge, taking the lead close to halftime. However, a fierce response in first half stoppage time saw the hosts score twice in two minutes, with Mané putting Nassr ahead with a brilliant dribbling run and curled finish.

The visitors did have a response, equalizing through Felippe Cardoso less than two minutes into the second half. But from then on everything went the way of the league leaders.

Ronaldo marked his return from injury with a penalty kick nine minutes later to restore the lead and then the Portuguese legend doubled his tally in the 73rd minute.

With the result well in hand by this point, Mané finished the scoring in stoppage time with a simple finish from a low cross by Salem Al Najdi.
