Thursday evening friendly match between Lisbon's "Benfica" and "Al-Nassr" teams.
"Benfica" defeated Cristiano Ronaldo's team 4:1.
In the 22nd minute, Angel Di Maria scored a classic goal in his own way, returning to "Benfica" after 13 years.
Goncalo Ramos soon scored a "double", but Khalid Al-Ghannam reduced the score to 3:1. Andreas Schjelderup added another goal for the Portuguese champions in the second half.
This match was also notable for a spectacular episode between A. Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo. The latter did not want to be substituted and showed the coach that he could stay on the field for another 5 minutes to help improve the team's poor performance.
