Ex-Benfica midfielder fires Al Nassr to Super Cup glory for Ronaldo | OneFootball

Al Nassr won the Women's Super Cup, beating Al Ahli, 2-0. Andreia Faria, a midfielder who swapped Benfica for the Riyadh emblem, started her journey in Arabia in the best way, by scoring one of the goals that won yet another trophy for the club's museum.

The first half was evenly matched and ended in a goalless draw at halftime. However, right at the start of the second half (46'), Abuladan, in an unfortunate move, ended up putting the ball in his own net, giving Al Nassr the lead.

Andreia Faria started the match on the bench and was brought on at the 60-minute mark, after having made an assist in the semi-final against Al Qadisiyah. At 90+4', the Portuguese scored the 2-0, sealed the match's score and celebrated... in Cristiano Ronaldo style.

A five-time national champion with the red and white team, Andreia Faria thus ended her connection with the Club da Luz, heading for a new experience in her career. She is the second Portuguese international to move to the Saudi league, after her ex-Benfica teammate Jéssica Silva signed with Al Hilal.

Thus, an eight-year connection with the Sacred Mantle of Benfica comes to an end, where she won a total of 16 trophies with the eagles, including the historic five-time national championship, something unprecedented in Portuguese women's football. Now, at the age of 25, the player will join the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix.
