Al Nassr vs Inter Miami HIGHLIGHTS: NAS 6-0 MIA; Talisca hits hattrick in Messi & Co drubbing

That’s the end of the game. Three goals on either side of the half-time break as Al Nassr hands a marauding to Inter Miami, extending its winless run to 12 games across all competitions. It was Talisca who starred with a hattrick, making an honest effort to compensate for the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese’s beloved rival Lionel Messi came on in the 83rd which brought momentary joy to the crowd in attendance but it little to turn around the fortunes of his side. Inter Miami will leave Saudi Arabia on the back of two defeats.

It was carnage at the beginning of the contest. Some outrageous piece of defending by Miami saw Al Nassr go 3-0 ahead inside just 13 minutes. But it was only uphill from there as the MLS side found its bearings and created a few chances. A lot of tackles flew as well as tempers flared. We will back for the second half soon.
