Saudi: 'I'll Expose This League if I Speak' - Joào Felix Furious After Al-Nassr's Defeat to Al-Ittihad
Joao Felix accused the Saudi Pro League of needing exposure after Al-Nassr’s first defeat of the season and faces a likely one-match suspension.
- On Saturday, Al-Nassr suffered their first defeat of the 2026-27 Saudi Pro League season, falling 2-1 to rivals Al-Ittihad in Jeddah and ending their unbeaten start.
- Al-Ittihad forward George Ilenikhena scored twice within the opening 22 minutes, and although Angelo Gabriel reduced the deficit in the 36th minute, Al-Nassr could not find an equalizer.
- Supporters vented frustration at 30-year-old winger Kingsley Coman, who failed to register a shot or create an opportunity during 60 minutes on the pitch, with fans calling his contribution ineffective after five scoreless league appearances.
- Following his fourth yellow card in the 69th minute, Joao Felix declined interviews and told journalist Ratiban Al-Dossari, "I won't speak to you, because if I do, I'll expose this league," triggering a one-match suspension.
- Manager Ange Postecoglou faces momentum loss following the defeat, with Al-Nassr now three points behind leaders Al-Hilal and without Felix for the upcoming match against Abha as they pursue a title challenge.
