Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 2-1 in the Super Cup final, where they were down to 10 men, and advanced to the final. Al Ahli will likely face Al Ahli in the final, as I believe Al Ahli will easily defeat Al Qadsiah.
Felix scored on his debut for Al Nassr. Joao Felix was signed with high hopes but hasn't been successful since then. He had a great start at Al Nassr, and we'll see if he continues to excel.
Congrats for Nassr by beating Al ittihad with only 10 men. Unbelievable performance from them. I thought they would lose but they add another goal to secure a spot to go to the next round.
I also feel impressed with how Felix is cooking in Saudi Pro league. He looked so blended with his team, and play multiple times better than he did at EPL. It seems he's Saudi's level, not PL's level. His decision to go to the saudi and joined Ronaldo is right.
This is why when fans criticise a player sometimes for their decisions, it becomes a surprise to me as much as I'm against such things. Some said it was too early for Joao Felix to have left the EPL to the SPL yet look at how he's enjoying his decision with the kind of promising performance he's making in Al-Nassr. Who would have imagined Al-Nassr will win this game after losing a key player Mane to a red card fault at the very first half of the game on a 1-1 goal point. When I saw the red card at the 25th min of the game, I already lost hope for the Al-Nassr club only to later get another beautiful winning goal from Joao Felix in the second half of the game.
Jao Felix showed his magic in Al Nassr in the pre-season Super Cup.
It's a compensatory win for Al Nassr against Al Ittihad in the Super Cup. Al Ittihad is the winner of the last season of Saudi Pro League while Al Nassr had to stay in third.
In this game too, Al Nassr got lucky with the goals. Sadio Mane did his job scoring a great goal in 10th minute but was removedby a Red card. After that, Al Ittihad dominated most of the game but were unable to score. It looked like the whole team of Al Ittihad against 4 or 5 players of Al Nassr.
I'd still say Jao Felix could have done better on European league career wise but he's not getting any less in attention or money even if he stays longer in Saudi teams.
