The Saudi Pro League giants humiliated their opponents in an eventful friendly game.
Al Nassr defeated Inter Miami 6-0 in their friendly game on Thursday. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Last Dance” game ended in an embarrassing defeat for the Major League Soccer (MLS) club.
What happened?
Messi and Ronaldo watched the game from the stands as their respective teams faced off at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. The hosts got the lead through Otavio only three minutes into the game, setting the stage for their dominant display.
In the span of only 12 minutes, Al Nassr went ahead 3-0 as Inter Miami struggled to find their feet in the game. Aymeric Laporte scored a sensational goal from the halfway line, sending the ball behind Drake Callender, who was a few meters away from the goal line.
Al Nassr’s dominance continued after the break, with the hosts making it 4-0 through Talisca in the 51st minute. Moammed Maran then scored his side’s fifth goal with a header before Talisca completed his hat-trick by converting an inch-perfect through ball from Alex Telles in the 73rd minute.
Messi finally came off the bench in the 83rd minute, but it was already too late for the Argentine icon to have an impact on the result.
