    Al-Khaleej came flying out of the blocks and stunned Al-Nassr before the break, Omar Mascarell nodding home in the first minute of stoppage time.

    Mascarell's header handed the hosts a precious lead heading into the interval. Al-Nassr now faced a real battle to drag themselves back into the contest.

    Ahmed's men went in search of a leveller after the restart, cranking up the attacking pressure in pursuit of an equaliser. Al-Khaleej's defence and goalkeeper stood firm, snuffing out more than one Al-Nassr chance inside the box.
