Al-Nassr made short work of Al-Fateh at Al-Awwal Park, running out 3-0 winners in a dominant display. The hosts were ruthless in the first half, establishing a two-goal cushion before the break and never letting their guests back into it.

The visitors had their chances to make a game of it but never looked like they would.
