Almost scored twice! Ronaldo s debut in the season was wonderful, but new player Felix did not find his form

On the evening of July 30, in a warm-up match held in Austria, Riyadh defeated Toulouse 2-1, and the team's core Ronaldo officially returned after nearly two months of separation from the court and declared his form with a goal. In the

game, Ronaldo started as the main player of the front line and performed very actively. In the 33rd minute, he received a precise cross from the right and scored a goal with a volley, setting the team's first record. The veteran born in 1985 was done in one go, and the opponent's goalkeeper had no response and could only watch the ball enter the net.

Just 6 minutes later, Ronaldo once again showed the keen sense of a top scorer. After receiving the pass in the middle, he cleverly got rid of a defensive player, and then shot hard with his left foot. The ball hit the crossbar and almost scored twice.

In contrast, Joao Felix, who appeared on the same stage, performed mediocrely. The 1999-born player was in a sluggish state on the court and had almost no contribution to the offense. What is even more regrettable is that his competition with Ronaldo for the ball in an offense led to the team missing an excellent scoring opportunity, becoming the most disharmonious scene in the game.

In the second half, in order to protect the veteran, the coaching staff replaced Ronaldo in advance to rest. In the 76th minute, Malan scored a goal, helping Riyadh win to expand the score to 2-1. Although Toulouse then won a goal, it ultimately failed to change the defeat.

Next, Riyadh victory will play another friendly match with La Liga team Almeria on August 11. The real highlight will be staged on August 19 - the team will compete with Benzema's Jeddah United team for the Saudi Super Cup championship. This will be the opportunity for Ronaldo to win the first official event championship since he entered the Saudi league, which is of great significance.
