Al Nassr inflicted a devastating defeat on Inter Miami, securing a 6-0 victory in a friendly match held in Riyadh. The anticipated showdown between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, considered modern football legends, did not materialize.
Ronaldo was absent due to injury, and Messi only entered the game in the 83rd minute, by which time his team had already conceded six goals.
The Saudis took control early on, with Ottavio, Andersson Talisca, and Aymeric Laporte scoring three goals within the first 12 minutes, including Laporte's impressive strike from behind the center-line. Talisca completed a hat-trick with two more goals after halftime, and Mohamed Maran also found the back of the net.
Notably, Swiss female referee Ester Staubli officiated the match.
This defeat added to Inter Miami's poor pre-season performance, bringing their tally to three losses and one draw. /BGNES
