Notes

  1. ^ a b Some sources credit Raja Casablanca's first goal to Omar Nejjary.[9][10] However, the FIFA Technical Study Group awarded it as an own goal,[11] as Nejjary's free kick deflected off Al-Nassr's Fahad Al-Bishi.[12][13][14] Some sources mistakenly credit the own goal to Mahdi Al-Dosari (who was not on the pitch) or Mohaisen Al-Jam'an.[15][16]
