- June 01, 2023 00:22Half time
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
- June 01, 2023 00:2045+4’
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 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

- May 31, 2023 23:36GOAL4’ Al Nassr takes an early lead
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!

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.
