Finally, João Félix! Ex-Benfica man scores, Al Nassr thrashed (Video) | OneFootball

he once again showed his quality in Al Nassr service by scoring at a crucial moment in the match against Al Qadsiah, in the 31st round of the Saudi league. The Portuguese international thus ended a run of four games without scoring.

The goal came in the 39th minute, from a move built down the left by Marcelo Brozovic, who created space and delivered a low cross to the edge of the box. Félix arrived at the right moment and, with a first-time effort, produced a precise curling shot, restoring parity after Abu Al Shamat’s opening goal.

Despite the moment of inspiration from the former Benfica player, Al Nassr - the club coached by Jorge Jesus - could not avoid defeat, eventually losing 3-1 in a game in which they showed several difficulties, especially in the first half. The opposition created several chances and ultimately deserved the result.

The goal also sparked protests from Al Qadsiah, who appealed for a foul at the start of the move, but the refereeing team’s decision remained unchanged. The goal stood and was one of the few positive moments for the away side.

With this goal, João Félix now has 23 goals this season, confirming his importance to the Saudi side, even in a match where the final result did not go in favor of the team that also features Cristiano Ronaldo.
