Riyadh: Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian football club, showcased their superiority on Thursday in the Riyadh Season Cup as they overwhelmed Inter Miami with an astonishing 6-0 victory at the Kingdom Arena.
Notably, Al Nassr was without their Portuguese star captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who was deemed not match-fit, while the Argentine icon Lionel Messi made only a brief appearance in the final minutes of the game.
Al Nassr wasted no time asserting their dominance, taking the lead in the third minute with a goal from Otavio. Talisca then extended their advantage in the tenth minute, finding the back of the net for the second goal. The team continued their relentless pursuit as Aymeric Laporte netted a remarkable long-range shot in the 12th minute, adding the third goal to Al Nassr's tally.
In the 51st minute, Talisca scored his second goal of the match, securing a 4-0 lead for Al Nassr from a confidently converted penalty kick. The goals kept pouring in as Mohamed Maran found the target in the 68th minute, contributing the fifth goal. Talisca completed the team's impressive sextuple, scoring his third goal in the 73rd minute.
Inter Miami, who had previously suffered a 3-4 loss to Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia in their first match, struggled to contain Al Nassr's powerful attack throughout the game.
With this victory, Al Nassr secured their first three points of the Riyadh Season Cup, setting themselves up for a decisive match against Al Hilal next Thursday in the tournament's final game.
Al Nassr's exceptional performance highlighted their prowess on the field, reflecting the talent and determination present within the Saudi Arabian football scene. As the Riyadh Season Cup continues, football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more thrilling matches showcasing the skills of these formidable teams.
