João Félix shines in Al Nassr win, ex-Benfica player’s boot goes flying | OneFootball

Al Nassr secured their third victory in as many games in this season’s Saudi League by hosting and thrashing Al Ryiadh 5-1, with João Félix standing out. The former Benfica player scored twice, in a match where Jorge Jesus was involved in a bizarre moment.

The Portuguese coach, who previously managed at Clube Luz, was displeased with the behavior of a fan in the stands and expressed his frustration by kicking a ball. However, as he did so, his shoe also flew off, in a moment that has gone viral on social media.

As for the match, João Félix scored the opening goal just six minutes in. The 2-0 came from the feet of another star of the team, Kingsley Coman, before Cristiano Ronaldo made it 3-0 in the 33rd minute. The second half then began with João Félix’s brace, an excellent goal from the Portuguese international.

Al Ryiadh managed to pull one back through Syllah Diallo, but Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t want to be outdone by João Félix and also scored twice in the match, sealing the final score at 5-1 in the 79th minute. The former Benfica player, who had gone scoreless in Al Nassr’s last two games, now has five goals in six matches for his new team.

For Jorge Jesus, this was his seventh game at the helm of the Saudi club: he has now recorded six wins, having drawn the other match (in the Super Cup final, which he later lost on penalties). The next match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, against Jeddah Club, in the Round of 16 of the King’s Cup, at 7:30 p.m.
