Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi scored goals side by side in the 'Meho War', which might be the last.



Even defender Jang Hyeon-soo from the Korean national team operated the scorer, and a 'goal party' was held with 9 goals scored.



Paris Saint-Germain beat the Al-Nasr-Al-Hilal All-Star team 5-4 in a friendly at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.



This match attracted attention as Ronaldo's debut match, which made the world buzz by leaving Europe at the end of last month and joining Saudi professional football club Al Nasr.



In front of Ronaldo, who started wearing the captain's armband, Messi took the lead first.



Messi, who was part of PSG's 'superlative three-top' along with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, scored the opening goal in the 3rd minute of the game.

Messi, who received a penetrating pass from the rear on the left side of the penalty area, finished it with a calm left-footed shot, ignoring the goalkeeper who moved forward to reduce the angle.



Ronaldo also counterattacked by winning a penalty kick during an aerial contest in the 34th minute of the first half.



Ronaldo, who started as a kicker, performed his signature 'heavy rain ceremony' after successfully kicking, receiving cheers from 68,000 fans who filled the stadium.



PSG took the lead again in the 43rd minute with Marquinhos' goal, but Ronaldo scored another goal in the first half's extra time to turn the game around.



Ronaldo jumped up from a cross from the left side and returned it to his head, but when the ball hit the post and bounced back, he rushed again and shook the net with a left-footed shot.



Early in the second half, defenders from both teams traded goals apiece.



Sergio Ramos shook the net with his right foot after receiving a cutback from Mbappe in the 8th minute of the second half, and 3 minutes later, Saudi Arabia's central defender Jang Hyun-soo scored a header from a corner kick.



In the 15th minute of the second half, Mbappe scored a penalty kick to give PSG a 4-3 lead.



Shortly after being replaced by Al-Hilal's Brazilian winger Matheus Pereira, Ronaldo left the ground amid cheers from the crowd.



Then Messi also headed to the bench, replacing Iliyes Husni.



PSG started a counterattack in the 33rd minute of the second half, and Hugo Ekitike drove the ball from the center circle to the goal, then fired a cool right-footed shot and scored the fifth goal.



In the second half of extra time, Al Nasr's attacking midfielder Anderson Taliska shook the net with a left-footed mid-range shot, ending the 'goal feast' with 9 goals.
