Al-Nassr booked their place in the Saudi Super Cup 2025 final with a thrilling 2–1 win over Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup 2025 Semi Final played in Hong Kong. The match had everything — early goals, a red card, and a winning strike created by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Match Summary
Al-Nassr got off to a great start when Sadio Mane scored with a powerful volley from Marcelo Brozovic’s cross in the 10th minute. Just six minutes later, Steven Bergwijn equalised for Al-Ittihad following a clever move by Moussa Diaby.
The game changed when Mane was sent off midway through the first half after a VAR review for recklessly attacking the goalkeeper. This forced Al-Nassr to play with 10 men for over an hour.
Despite this setback, Al-Nassr fought back. In the 61st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo created the deciding moment with a superb pass to Joao Felix, who calmly slotted the ball into the net to make it 2-1. Felix thought he had a second chance, but VAR ruled it out for a foul.
Al-Nassr defended strongly in the final stages and secured their place in the Saudi Super Cup final, where they will face the winner of Al-Qadsiah vs Al-Ahli.
