Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr were knocked of the Saudi Super Cup Thursday after a 3-1 semi-final loss to Al Ittihad in Riyadh.
The 37-year old Portugal international, five-time Ballon D'Or winner, had a couple of chances to score but was well shackled by the Al Ittihad defence for most of their semi-final at King Fahd International Stadium.
Anderson Talisca's goal for Al Nassr in the 67th minute was not enough to turn around the deficit from two first-half goals for Al Ittihad from Romarinho and Abderrazak Hamdallah.
Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti added the third three minutes into stoppage time.
Al Ittihad will play Al Fayha, who beat Al Hilal 1-0 in the other Super Cup semi-final Thursday, in Sunday's final.
Al Nassr next travel to Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League next Friday.
