Al Nassr demolished Inter Miami 6-0 in their Riyadh Season Cup clash at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, February 1.
Unfortunately for the fans, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t play due to an injury. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi only came on in the latter stages of the game, also suffering from an injury.
However, there was no shortage of action as Al Nassr started off brilliantly. Otavio opened the scoring in the third minute before Anderson Talisca doubled it in the 10th minute. Aymeric Laporte scored from his own half to make it 3-0 in the 12th minute.
Talisca (51’) then scored from the penalty spot before Mohammed Maran (68’) made it 5-0 for Al-Nassr. Talisca then completed his hat-trick and the scoring in the 71st minute.
Inter Miami have now lost three of their four pre-season games so far, drawing the other.
