Match report
Al-Nassr led twice in the game, with the efforts of Marcelo Brozovic with eight minutes to play in search of the first silverware of the season.
But Ibanez's 89th minute equalizer took the draw to Spot-Kicks, where Al-Ahli prevailed on courtesy of captain Edouard Mendy's Save by Abdullah Al Khaibari.
Mendy had been involved from the start and Cristiano Ronaldo denied twice before the Al-Nassr talisman broke the impasse of the penalty place after Ali Majrashi was punished for a handball.
After a large part of the first half, however, Al-Ahli was at the rest of the break when Franck Kession curled a brilliant attempt in the corner of the right right from just inside the box.
Al-Ahli looked more dangerous in the second period, with Feras Al Brikan already hit the post after 70 minutes, but Al-Nassr led again through Brozovic after he earned Kession on the edge of the box before he scored.
However, the drama was not over, because the corner of Riyad Mahrez was missed by an advancing bento, so Ibanez could go into an empty net.
Mendy then had the decisive say in the shoot-out, with his rescue so that Galeno could send the winning penalty.
