Two penalty goals from Nigerian Odion Ighalo gave Ramón Díaz's team the victory at the MRSOOL Park in Riyadh, in an advanced match from the twenty-fifth round.

A goal in the 77th minute was disallowed for offside, and earlier, in the 57th minute, he was cautioned by English referee Michael Oliver for grabbing a rival player by the neck. After this result, Al Nassr complicates the title race, staying three points behind the leader, Al-Ittihad, with one more game played.
