“It was a very good game,” said the 29-year-old Coman. “We showed good reaction after (conceding) the first goal and that’s the way to play. I’m very happy with the performance and now we go back with confidence and give everything to (our) league (campaign).
“This season has been good but the league and Champions League Two have not been won yet. We are in a good way but we know we still have to give everything to win the titles.”

Jesus praised the performance of his charges after a difficult start where Al Ahli went ahead through Sekou Yansane but Coman equalised quickly as Al Nassr turned the screw on their opponents with Angelo and Abdullah Al Hamddan their other scorers.
“Our goal was to reach the final and we have done so with great effect,” said Jesus. “We had our weak moments against a strong team but to play every three days at such a tempo is not easy. We look ahead to the final but first, we also want to win the domestic competition.
“There are always two teams in the final and when you reach the final, you are a good team but ultimately only one lifts the trophy. Reaching the final is the hardest part of the journey, once you reach it, anything can happen in football.”

As for Al Ahli, head coach Younes Ali conceded that his team were not at their best in front of goal but at the same time, admitted that Al Nassr had too much star quality for the Qatari side to cope.
“Congratulations to Al Nassr, they deserve to reach the final and good luck to them,” said Ali. “The match, as we expected, was very difficult."

“We delivered a very strong first half and created many chances but when you don’t take those chances against a team like Al Nassr, it comes back to hit you. They were just more decisive with their opportunities.
“The third goal at the end of the first half affected the team greatly but Al Nassr’s individual quality played a big part in the game.”
