On his debut, João Félix steals the show in Al Taawon v Al Nassr (Video) | OneFootball

Last night, Al Nassr kicked off another edition of the Saudi League, where they visited Al Taawon's stronghold, which ended in a 5-0 thrashing, where João Félix was the star of the match. The former player of Benfica, who was on the verge of returning to Estádio da Luz, scored a hat-trick.

The impact of the Portuguese international, who will be included in Portugal's call-up, began to be felt in the early minutes of the match, when he opened the scoring in the 7th minute. This left Al Nassr with a minimal advantage when the two teams went to the locker rooms.

In the second half, after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, from a penalty, and Kingsley Coman had extended the advantage for the team led by Jorge Jesus, João Félix still had more in store for the match. The second goal of the number 79 came in the 67th minute.

Despite already winning 4-0, Al Nassr did not take their foot off the gas and still went in search of more goals. With the usual suspect involved, the former Benfica player sealed the final result, which took on the shape of a thrashing, at 87 minutes, after taking advantage of a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo, which crashed thunderously against the crossbar of Al Taawon's goal.

At the end of the match, which marked the debut of the Portuguese international in the Saudi league, João Félix was highly praised by Jorge Jesus, revealing that there is a great evolution on the part of the athlete, however, he issued a warning to the team, stating that there is still much to improve in this start of the season.
