The goals emerged from an unexpected source, with Michael striking for Al Hilal in the 51st minute. However, the narrative swiftly pivoted when Ronaldo, exhibiting his signature finesse and precision, found the back of the net twice, first in the 74th minute and then again in the 98th minute, decisively securing the triumph for Al Nassr.
