In a stunning display of dominance, Al-Nassr, without Cristiano Ronaldo, handed Inter Miami a crushing 6-0 defeat on Thursday. Despite Ronaldo’s absence and Lionel Messi starting on the bench due to a recent knock, Al-Nassr’s stars orchestrated a flawless performance, leaving Miami reeling.
Otavio set the tone early, scoring just three minutes into the game, followed by Anderson Talisca doubling the lead in the 10th minute. The highlight of the match came from Aymeric Laporte, who chipped a 60-yard free kick, catching Miami off guard. The first half ended 3-0, with Al-Nassr firmly in control.
The Saudi Arabian side maintained their momentum in the second half, with Talisca scoring his second from the penalty spot five minutes in. Mohammed Maran added another goal in the 68th minute, and Talisca completed his hat-trick, celebrating with Ronaldo’s iconic gesture to the delight of the home crowd.
While several Al-Nassr players showcased standout performances, Talisca’s hat-trick and overall impact earned him the MVP title. The Brazilian’s ability to dominate the game was evident, reminding the football world of his prowess. Talisca’s stellar performance was a key factor in Al-Nassr’s comprehensive victory.
Inter Miami endured a defensive disasterclass, with defensive lapses leading to goals in various forms. The team struggled with giveaways, poor marking, and structural issues, culminating in a 6-0 defeat. The collective disappointment makes Inter Miami the big loser of the match, missing a crucial opportunity to make a statement on the global stage.
Inter Miami’s preseason tour continues with the Asian leg, facing a Hong Kong XI next on Sunday and Japanese side Vissel Kobe on Wednesday. The team aims to bounce back as they return home to conclude preseason against Messi’s boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys.
