It completed a frustrating excursion for Stefano Pioli’s men who were reversed by two goals from the former midfielder of Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain Gini Wijnaldum.
Wijnaldum canceled the opening of Aidan Yahya first before Mohammed Al Fatil restored the advantage of al-Nassr.
Al Fatil met at the other end at eight minutes before the end and Wijnaldum appeared with the winner seven minutes later to complete the turn.
