Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr were knocked out of the Kings Cup in the last 16 after a 2-1 defeat by rivals Al-Ittihad.
Karim Benzema, Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid striker partner, opened the scoring for the visitors. He produced a cool finish from the centre of the box, guiding a left-footed effort into the bottom corner after being picked out by Moussa Diaby on a quick counter.

Ronaldo set up Angelo to equalise, but Houssam Aouar scored what proved to be the winner just before half-time. Al-Nassr tried to respond but struggled to break down a compact Al-Ittihad defence, with Ronaldo seeing a long-range strike saved by Predrag Rajkovic.
