João Félix scores off bench at Al Nassr, keeps Cup hopes alive | OneFootball

Al Nassr defeated Jedah 4-0 in a match for the round of 32 of the Saudi King's Cup. Jorge Jesus left João Félix and Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, but brought on the former Benfica forward with 30 minutes remaining.

To start by noting the absence of any player with a history at Benfica on the field, in the match between Al Nassr and Jedah. Jorge Jesus decided to make several changes to his team, which included seven Saudi players, and left João Félix on the bench at the start of the match - remember that the former Eagles player had already shone in the last match.

Regarding the match, it started in the best way for Al Nassr. João Félix's team, who started the game on the bench, took the lead in the match just eight minutes in, thanks to an own goal by Al Rahi - there were attempts to increase the lead, but halftime arrived with the score at 1-0.

The second half told a similar story. Al Nassr dominated, doubling the lead at 61 minutes through Wesley. João Félix entered the field at 63', and still had time to put on a show: a goal at 71', and an assist at 89', helping the Riyadh team seal the victory with a final score of 4-0.

Al Nassr's victory qualifies João Félix's team for the round of 16 of the Saudi King's Cup. The Riyadh team will be back on the field for an important match against Al Ittihad next Friday, September 26, at 19:00.
