Al Ahli, who won the title of this year’s Asian Champions League, replied in the first half of a stop using Franck Kessie, who finished weak in front of the goalkeeper of Al Nassr Bento after a well placed pass from the new signature Enzo Millot.
The two parties pushed a winner in the second half and Ronaldo tested Edouard Mendy with a powerful strike before Firas al-Buraikan hit the post.
Marcelo Brozovic restored Al Nassr’s advance in the 82nd minute, capitalizing on a bad clearance and pulling home from the inside.
Al Ahli equalized again in the 89th minute, however, when Roger Ibanez headed in a corner of Riyad Mahrez after Bento mis evaluated the ball.
During the shooting, Al Ahli converted the five penalties and although Ronaldo converted his kick, Al Nassr missed one to put the club based in Jeddah, his second Saudi title Super Cup.
