Victory coach Castro made changes as the second half kicked off and dismissed Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, but al-nasr continued to lead and scored three goals in the second half, carrying the 51st-minute signing of Abdel Rahman Gharib and the 63rd-minute player Abdelaziz Alaywah, who returned in the 87th minute and scored his team’s eighth goal.
