New Headline: Wayne Rooney's Super Bowl Victory Over Champions League Giants!
Joao Felix finally back scoring - although Al Nassr star was always 'relaxed' Finally, after 14 Roshn Saudi League matches without a goal and, for the first time in 2026, Joao Felix was back on the scoresheet. To be fair, the Al Nassr forward had hardly not been contributing. Since finding the net last in the 2-2 draw with Al Ettifaq way back in December, Felix has been foremost in helping the Riyadh giants climb back to the top of the table.
There were the seven assists in his previous 10 appearances, not to mention the recent Man of the Match performances at Al Kholood and Al Fayha . However, the goals just hadn’t come. Until Saturday.
Away to Al Khaleej on the east coast, Felix fired home a double in a thumping 5-0 victory, the Portugal forward forcing the game from the hosts with his side’s third and fourth goals. For the first, Felix both began and finished a well-worked move. The second, though, was the best of the night: ghosting into the home penalty area, Felix controlled Angelo’s fizzed pass with his right by flipping it onto his left and volleying past Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris.
And, with it, a long drought was well and truly dispelled. That said, Felix was never in doubt the goals would come flooding back. Joao Felix scores a brace in Al Nassr's 5-0 win at Al Khaleej “This comes with maturity,” he said afterwards.
“I'm not new in the game, so I know how I need to deal with those kinds of things. If I'm not scoring, it's OK. It happens.
