Al Qadsiah 3-1 Al Nassr Player Ratings: Musab Al-Juwayr 8.5/10 Impressed as Al-Qadsiah Dominated Al Nassr in a 3-1 Victory

A stunning performance from Al-Qadsiah saw them secure a memorable 3-1 victory over a lackluster Al Nassr in the Pro League. This was a classic case of a well-drilled team overcoming a collection of stars. The atmosphere at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium was electric, and the home side certainly fed off that energy.

The scoring was opened by Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat, setting the tone for the evening. While João Félix managed to pull one back for Al Nassr before halftime, it felt like a temporary reprieve. Al-Qadsiah came out for the second half with renewed purpose, and goals from Musab Al-Juwayr and Julián Quiñones sealed the deal. What stood out to us was how disjointed Al Nassr looked, particularly their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a frustrating night, even hitting the post. This match will be remembered as a tactical masterclass from the home side. Here are Sportsdunia's Al Qadsiah vs Al Nassr player ratings.

Al Nassr Player Ratings vs Al Qadsiah

Here are the Al Nassr player ratings vs Al Qadsiah.

Goalkeeper

Bento - 6.0: It's tough to be too critical of the keeper when the defense in front of him crumbles. He conceded three goals, but he also made three crucial saves inside the box that prevented an even bigger embarrassment. From where we were sitting, he looked exposed all evening. A difficult night for the Brazilian shot-stopper.

Defenders

Mohamed Simakan - 5.5: A really poor outing for Simakan. He was part of a defensive unit that was all over the place. He only won one of his three aerial duels and looked a step behind the Al-Qadsiah attackers throughout the match. We noticed he was often caught out of position, leaving huge gaps for the opposition to exploit.

Abdulelah Al-Amri - 6.5: He was probably the best of a bad bunch at the back. His stats, with 10 duels won and 3 interceptions, don't tell the full story of the chaos around him. He made some important tackles, but he was fighting a losing battle. He looked visibly frustrated with the lack of organization.

Nawaf Boushal - 6.0: He worked hard and managed nine ball recoveries which is commendable. However, he was dribbled past twice and struggled to contain the flow of attacks down his flank. He was subbed off late on, which was no surprise after a challenging performance where he looked completely gassed.

Iñigo Martínez - 6.0: A performance to forget for the experienced Spaniard. He picked up a yellow card and didn't provide the calm, organizing presence Al Nassr needed at the back. He won a decent number of his duels but, as a unit, the defense he was part of failed spectacularly.

Midfielders

Marcelo Brozović - 6.0: A strange game from the Croatian. He provided a fantastic assist for Félix's goal, showing his class. However, a glaring error led directly to a goal for the opposition. That one mistake completely overshadowed his creative contributions. A mixed bag, to say the least.

Abdullah Al-Khaibari - 5.5: Largely anonymous during his time on the pitch. His pass completion was high, but the passes were safe and ineffective. He failed to impose himself on the game before being substituted in the 67th minute. We expected much more from him in the midfield battle.

Ângelo - 5.5: A very quiet game for the young winger. He lost possession 12 times and couldn't get his dribbling game going against a resolute Al-Qadsiah defense. He showed flashes of skill but was ultimately ineffective and was rightly substituted. Needs to be stronger on the ball.

Kingsley Coman - 5.0: From our perspective, this was a dreadful performance. He was a non-factor in attack, losing possession 14 times and winning just 36% of his duels. He looked disinterested and off the pace. We can't recall a single moment of danger he created before being hauled off.

João Félix - 7.5: The only bright spark in a dismal Al Nassr showing. He scored a well-taken goal and was the only player who looked capable of making something happen. He created three chances for his teammates and constantly tried to get on the ball. He deserves credit for his effort and quality.

Forwards

Cristiano Ronaldo - 6.0: It was a deeply frustrating night for the captain. He was caught offside three times and hit the woodwork in what was his best chance of the game. He only had 21 touches, a testament to his team's inability to supply him. His body language told the story of a player utterly fed up with his team's performance.

Substitutes

Substitutes - N/A: Several players including Ayman Yahya and Sultan Al Ghannam came on late but didn't have enough time or opportunity to influence the outcome of the match.

Manager

J. Pinheiro de Jesus - 5.0: His team looked tactically naive and poorly organized. They were completely outplayed and out-thought by the opposition. The substitutions didn't change the flow of the game, and the side lacked any discernible game plan. A very poor day at the office for the manager.

Goalkeeper

Koen Casteels - 6.5: A relatively comfortable evening for the Belgian. He conceded one goal but had little else to do, making only one save. He commanded his area well and his distribution was solid. His defense gave him excellent protection all night.

Defenders

Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat - 8.0: An outstanding performance capped with a goal. He was a constant threat going forward and solid at the back. His energy was infectious, and he caused endless problems for Al Nassr's left side. A brilliant all-round display.

Jehad Thakri - 7.0: Solid and dependable. He won the majority of his aerial duels and made five crucial clearances. He kept it simple and did his defensive duties without any fuss, helping to nullify the threat of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nacho Fernández - 7.5: The captain led by example. His positioning was immaculate, and he made a crucial last-man tackle. With a 95% pass accuracy, he was calm and composed on the ball, building attacks from the back. A true captain's performance.

Gastón Álvarez - 8.0: A monster at the back. We watched him win 10 duels and make three vital blocks. He was aggressive, strong in the tackle, and read the game superbly. The attackers of Al Nassr simply couldn't get past him. An imperious display.

Midfielders

Nahitan Nández - 7.0: A workhorse in the midfield. He won all four of his attempted tackles and covered an immense amount of ground. While sometimes a bit untidy in possession, his energy and commitment were vital to Al-Qadsiah's dominance in the middle of the park.

Musab Al-Juwayr - 8.5: The highest-rated player on the pitch, and for good reason. He scored a decisive goal and was the heartbeat of his team. His 10 ball recoveries show his defensive contribution, while his three key passes highlight his creative influence. A complete midfield performance, and our man of the match.

Christopher Bonsu Baah - 7.5: Provided a crucial assist and was a livewire throughout. His dribbling caused problems, successfully completing four of five attempts. He linked up play effectively and was a key part of Al-Qadsiah's fluid attacking moves.

Otávio - 8.0: Controlled the game from midfield. He was everywhere, breaking up play with three tackles and driving his team forward. His high pass accuracy and 11 passes into the final third show how he dictated the tempo of the game against his former club.

Forwards

Abdullah Al-Salem - 7.0: He didn't get on the scoresheet, but he played a crucial role. He created a big chance and drew fouls to relieve pressure on his team. His hold-up play was excellent, bringing the dynamic midfielders into the game before he was substituted.

Julián Quiñones - 8.0: A fantastic performance with a goal and an assist. He was a constant thorn in the side of the Al Nassr defense, taking four shots and always looking dangerous. Despite missing a couple of chances, his overall contribution was immense.

Substitutes

Substitutes - N/A: Players like Gabriel Carvalho and Ali Hazazi were brought on to see the game out, and they performed their roles adequately without having a major impact on the scoreline.

Manager

B. Rodgers - 8.5: He got his tactics spot on. His team was organized, motivated, and clinical. They exploited Al Nassr's weaknesses perfectly and were disciplined in defense. A masterful coaching performance that secured a deserved and famous victory.
