However, Al Ittihad fought back strongly in the second half. Karim Benzema reduced the gap in the 49th minute, before N'Golo Kanté equalized 2-2 just 3 minutes later.

Not stopping there, in the 5th minute of extra time, Houssem Aouar scored the winning goal 3-2 for Al Ittihad.

This defeat has left Al Nassr with almost no chance of competing for the championship, as they are 11 points behind the top team Al Ittihad with only 4 rounds left. The chance of winning a ticket to the AFC Champions League next season is also fading as Al Nassr is 5 points behind the second-placed team Al Hilal.
