And that’s the end of Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League season, as it finishes second in the table, four points behind leader Al Ittihad. Without it’s star Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr has managed to demolish Al Fateh, thanks to a brace from Talisca, who now has collected 20 goals this season.

Three minutes added

Sulaiheem and Gustavo link up near the Al Fateh box. The former lets a through ball inside the box, Talisca, who is desparate for a hat-trick tries for another breakthrough but it is saved rather comfortably

OUT: Al Saeed, IN: Al Julaydan; OUT: Al Ghannam, IN: Saad Al Shurafa

OUT: Madu, IN: Al Fail

Al Nassr skipper Madu is shown the card after a rash tackle on Al Othman

THAT’S THREE FOR AL NASSR! Gustavo floats a cross into the box towards Talisca, who trips but gets a touch. But Marran gets the final touch into the goal. That would’ve been a hat-trick for Talisca had Marran not tapped it in

TALISCA DOUBLES AL NASSR LEAD! Ghareeb from the left flank whipped out an excellent through ball inside the box, which Talisca reached quickly and cross-footed it past Rinne

Al Nassr is constantly pressuring Al Fateh by maintaining a superior ball possession and by staying inside the opposition’s half for quite a while. But nothing really has troubled Rinne so far

Al Buraikan gets a superb long ball into the box, his first touch looks good but he’s in a tough angle. He looks for options but there are no yellow shirts inside the box and he is eventually intercepted

Talisca takes the free kick, it is in an awkward position but he tries for an ambitious curler but that goes out for a goal kick

After just three minutes on the pitch Aljari gets biooked for a mindless tackle on Talisca. Al Nassr gets a free kick

OUT: Tello, IN: Al Anazi; OUT: Alawjami, IN: Ajari; OUT: Al Fuhaid, IN: Al Mousa

Hugs exchanged between the players as the season is nearing the close. Regardless of the result, these teams will maintain their position in the league table - Al Nassr will finish second while Al Fateh will be at sixth.

And that’s the end of a rather slow first half. Al Nassr looked dangerous in the initial minutes but other than Talisca’s goal, nothing substantial occured for it. Talisca thought he made it 2-0 right before half time only for VAR to intervene and rule it an offside by the barest of margins

CHANCE! It was a three vs two situation inside the Al Nassr half. Al Ghannam got the ball on the left side but miscues it as the ball goes out for a goal kick

TALISCA MAKES IT 2-0. He makes goalscoring look easy! A stunning curling cross from Konan that goes directly to Talisca as he chips it over Rinne inside the post. OH THAT’S OFFSIDE! A VAR CHECK DISALLOWS THE GOAL. Now that two disallowed goals in two matches for Al Nassr

Free kick for Al Nassr as Talisca is pushed down following a tacle from Al Daheem

Alawjami has hurt himself while trying to challenge Talisca’s high ball, he limps for a while before walking normally. Nothing serious

Nothing substantial from Al Nassr as well, as the ball stayed at the middle for quite a while. The Riyadh-based club will look for another shot at goal to ensure safety

Corner for Al Fateh and Tello takes it. Sends in a curler that is cleared out by Gustavo

Half an hour into the game and Al Nassr is already 1-0 up and is looking comfortable. Nothing has really tested its defense so far.

Exchange of posession between the teams as both are constantly losing the ball. No major developments

Gustavo from the left lane, comes up with a searching long cross with Talisca running into the final third. But Rinne dives to save

Brilliant one-two from Talisca and Sulaiheem. The latter advances into the box as Talisca finds him with a through ball, Sulaiheem tried to finish but the shot was too weak to rattle Rinne, who gloves it easily

Talisca on the right, puts the ball towards Gustavo who tries an ambitious long ranger. But the ball is nowhere near the post as it flies into the stands. This must be one of the lowest attendance recorded at the KSU stadium this season. A lot of empty seats. Could be because the league title was decided last week, as Al Ittihad was crowned the champion

Al Ghannam breaks free and is into the box but a superb sliding tackle from skipper Madu keeps him at bay

Konan intercepts Tello in Al Nassr’s half and takes the ball away towards the half line mark. He then puts in a through ball towards Al Alewa who gets it in close quarters with the keeper but is cut off

A running Talisca gets a dangerous lofted ball inside the box but he gets cut by Alawjami, who comes in with a timely tackle

Al Ghannam finds Al Sulaiheem inside the box, who tries to go past Al Daheem but gets intercepted

TALISCA GIVES AL NASSR THE LEAD! That must be one of the easiest goals that he would’ve scored. Al Elewai from the right right put in a through ball, that evaded two defenders and went straight to Talisca, who maneuved around Rinne to put flick it into the goal. Talisca has been clinical in his finishing and has scored the 19th league goal of this season, richly deserved!

Talisca tries a long ranger, the low-kept shot tests Rinne but he saves it eventually with a full length dive

Positive start for Al Nassr as they start attacking straightaway. Gonzalez changes the passage of play from left to right lane and goes into the final third only to get intercepted while attempting a cross

Talisca will get the ball rolling as Al Nassr starts left to right. In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Madu is leading the side.

Al Nassr - D-W-W-D-W

Al Fateh - D-W-L-L-L

Al Nassr: Rossi, Sultan, Gonzalez, Mado, Konan, Gustavo, Alkhaibari, Alalewa, Alsulaihem, Ghareeb, Talisca

Al Fateh: Rinne. Alfuhaid, Aldaheem, Alawjami, Alzubaidi, ALsaeed, Bendebka, Alothman, Tello, Alghannam, Alburaikan

Second-placed Al-Nassr will take on Al Fateh in the final gameweek of the Saudi Pro League at the KSU stadium in Riyadh on Wednesday.

After amassing 69 points from 29 games, Al Ittihad clinched the league title last week as it took an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the league table. With the title race out of the equation, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr will look to end its final game of this season on a positive note.

Al Nassr comes into this clash on the back of a gruelling 1-1 draw against Ettifaq, which saw VAR oveturn Gustavo’s potential winner as offisde and ended the title hopes for the Riyadh-based club. Meanwhile, Al Fateh also played out a 1-1 draw against Damac in the previous game.
