Al Nassr started the match on a flying note, as the home side breached the deadlock inside 60 seconds, as an Otavio stunner stunned the visitors which was assisted by talisman Cristiano Ronaldo. However, all of their hardwork went in vain as Al Hilal's constant pressure paid dividends right at the death.

Al Nassr got off to a roaring start with this fabulous strike from @otaviomonteiroo 💥 ⚽️
