Krivtsov played the entire match as part of the guests
Saudi Al Nasr destroyed in Riyadh Inter Miami in a friendly match – 6:0.
The match was conceived as another series of the legendary confrontation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. But it did not happen due to injuries to the star players. The Portuguese was completely absent from the lineup, and the Argentinean only came on as a substitute at the end of the meeting.
At the same time, the rest of Inter’s stars were in place – Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez started. Ukrainian defender Sergei Krivtsov played the entire match with them.
In the absence of KriRo, Brazilian Anderson Talisca came to the fore in Al-Nasr, scoring a hat-trick.
Perhaps the most remarkable goal in the opening of the match was scored by defender Aymeric Laporte – he threw the ball over the collar of goalkeeper Drake Callender from his own half. At the same time, the American saved a lot – he made six saves. Inter had their chances in response, but did not capitalize on any.
Al-Nasr, coached by former Shakhtar coach Luis Castro, is second in the Saudi Arabian championship after 19 rounds. The championship is suspended for the duration of the 2023 Asian Cup.
For Inter Miami, the regular season starts on February 22 with a home match against Real Madrid from Salt Lake City. So far, Gerardo Martino’s team is playing friendly matches, the results of which are very modest – 0:0 with the El Salvador team, 0:1 with FC Dallas, 3:4 with Al-Hilal.
