The first leg of the ADIB Cup's quarter-finals between the two teams took place at Rashid Stadium.
It was a cagey first half with a few goal-scoring chances as it ended in a goalless draw.
Two minutes after the break, Sardar Azmoum towered above Al Nasr's defense to fire a powerful header to put the Dubai-based side ahead.
Cartabia cemented his side's lead in the 77th minute as he launched a powerful strike into the bottom corner to make it 2-0.
The 2nd leg will take place at Al Maktoum stadium on Sunday, December 29th.
