Al Ittihad were the victors at King Fahd International Stadium, with goals from Romarinho, Abderrazak Hamdallah and Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti accounting for the win.
Despite a 43rd minute header from Ronaldo which was stopped by Al-Ittihad goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe, Al Nassr were unable to level the match.
Anderson Talisca netted a consolation goal for Al Nassr in the 67th minute but it wasn’t enough to keep them alive in the cup competition.
