Fielding his strongest XI for the first time this campaign, goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Inigo Martinez, Abdulelah Al Amri and Sadio Mane kept Al Nassr in the hunt for a double with the side also leading the Saudi Pro League.

“The match looked easy but the opposing team is a very good team, they are very organised,” said Jesus. “I like them, they are very tactically organised.
“Now, it’s 17 consecutive wins, for this I congratulate the players and the Al Nassr fans for the victory."

“This competition is very important to us. Al Nassr has never won this competition, no Saudi team has ever won this competition, so we took it seriously from the start. We could have been better in some areas today but everyone played to the best they could.”
There was disappointment for Rui Vitoria and his Al Wasl team after a slow start saw them having too much to chase with Al Nassr 3-0 up after just 26 minutes.

The 56-year-old was able to galvanise his Emirati side into an improved second half performance but it wasn’t enough to prevent them from exiting the competition.
“The game was not what we expected, result wise,” said Vitoria. “We didn’t start well and weren’t aggressive in the first half. We let them play and their quality up front made it difficult for us.
“We changed in the second half and played with a different attitude and had more balance in the game. We had our opportunities but didn’t capitalise.”
