Ten-men Paris Saint-Germain beat the Riyadh All Stars in a friendly match on Thursday, despite Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace on his in-official Saudi Arabia debut.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring after just three minutes, converting an assist by Neymar.
However, the Riyadh All Stars struck back in the 32nd minute after Ronaldo had been punched in the face by PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas and stepped up to convert the following penalty.
PSG defender Juan Bernat got sent off in the 39th minute, while Neymar had a penalty saved in the second minute of first half injury time.
A few minutes before Neymar’s miss, Marquinhos had restored PSG’s lead but it was Ronaldo again who equalised for the Riyadh All Stars in the fifth minute of injury time via a powerful header.
The action continued after the break with Sergio Ramos handing PSG a 3-2 lead in the 53rd minute but it didn’t last long, with Hyun Soo Jang equalising once more three minutes later.
Kylian Mbappe restored PSG’s lead from the penalty spot before both sides made a host of changes, with Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe among those substituted.
PSG youngster Hugo Ekitike made it 5-3 following a superb counter. Talisca scored the final goal in the 94th minute, with the match ending 5-4 to PSG.
