Toulouse put up a fight, even taking the lead in the 25th minute thanks to Gboho, but ultimately lost 2-1 to Al-Nassr. Joao Felix was playing his first match with his new team. However, it was Cristiano Ronaldo himself who sparked the Saudi club’s comeback by equalising from a Wesley cross after half an hour (33rd minute).
In the second half, while both teams made significant changes to their squads, Al-Nassr took a definitive lead through Marran (76^(th) minute). TFC thus suffered a third consecutive pre-season defeat after losing to QPR (2-1) and RB Leipzig (7-0). Prior to this, the Violets had drawn with Pau (0–0).
