(Football result) - Al Nassr easily overcame Jeddah with a 4-0 win in the King Cup game played at Prince Abdullah AlFaisal Stadium in the early hours of September 24 (Vietnam time).
The Riyadh capital team entered the match as strong favorites against the second-division club, which is why coach Jorge Jesus decided to rest key stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Kingsley Coman, and João Félix on the bench.
While Coman, Mané, and Félix were gradually brought onto the field to help secure the victory, Ronaldo was fully rested and did not play a single minute.

Facing intense pressure against a much stronger opponent, Jeddah had a poor start when defender Faisal Othman accidentally scored an own goal in the 5th minute. Al Nassr’s dominance was clear in the stats: they had 14 shots on target and controlled 72% of the ball possession during the match.
Although Jeddah was only down by one goal at halftime, they couldn’t hold out longer in the second half. In the 61st minute, Wesley doubled Al Nassr’s lead following an assist from Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
Not stopping there, coach Jesus continued to bring on Mané, Félix, and Coman to strengthen the attack. This decision paid off immediately: Félix scored just 8 minutes later with Coman providing the assist.
In the 89th minute, Félix made another impact by setting up Mohamed Simakan to seal the 4-0 victory.
