Analysis The numbers behind the result
Al-Nassr's dominance deserved in commanding win
Al-Nassr's 3-0 victory was fully deserved, with their 1.42 xG comfortably exceeding Al-Fateh's 0.77 and their 59% possession translating into clear superiority in chance creation. The hosts fired 18 shots, nine on target, compared to Al-Fateh's nine total attempts, only three of which tested the goalkeeper. Al-Nassr's clinical edge was evident, with Angelo (37'), Joao Felix (40'), and Samu Costa (73') converting key moments to seal the win.
The hosts dominated the attacking metrics, landing 13 shots inside the box to Al-Fateh's five, while their six corners further highlighted their territorial advantage. Sadio Mane's assist for Joao Felix's goal exemplified Al-Nassr's fluidity in transition, while Al-Fateh struggled to create meaningful openings despite their 41% possession. Their inability to convert even their limited chances, evidenced by their low xG, underlined their lack of cutting edge.
The decisive stat was Al-Nassr's 13 shots inside the box, showcasing their ability to penetrate Al-Fateh's defence consistently and punish their opponents with clinical finishing.
