Both sides played a subdued game throughout the first half with goalkeepers having little to do.

Three minutes after the restart, Nassr took the lead when Ronaldo's glancing header broke the deadlock after second-half substitute Angelo's inch-perfect cross reached him at the far post.

The Portuguese striker's goal was his 17th in the league this season.

Al Wehda had character after falling behind and made frequent forays into the opposition box, although he wasted multiple chances.

The Mecca-based club nearly equalized once more, but Al Fatil deftly stopped Youssef Amyn's cross that was headed for Craig Goodwin's run to the far post.

Sadio Mane scored from the penalty spot late in the game to seal the victory.
