The first half of the match was totally dominated by the locals, that is, Al Nassr, who had no problem holding the ball and not lending it to their rivals, and also generated enough to be able to win by many goals, however They have only been able to score 3 goals, Hat Trick from Cristiano Ronaldo, who else? The first was a penalty, and the curious anecdote came when the referee was reviewing the possible penalty in the VAR (Video assistant referee).

The penalty in the first half of the match was caused by a handball. Cristiano Ronaldo expected a cross, but the ball found itself in the hand of a Damac FC central defender, and the referee used the var to award it. While they were waiting for the referee's decision, Cristiano Ronaldo approached the defender to talk about the play, and the defender became defensive and explained to Cristiano that it was not a penalty, the conversation reached such an intensity that the Portuguese laughed and walked away, waiting for the decision of the referee, that effectively marked a penalty.
