Thursday's exhibition game between Al Nassr and Inter Miami was supposed to be all about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

But after both superstars failed to make the starting XIs, Aymeric Laporte stole the show in the 12th minute when he scored direct from a 70-yard free-kick from well behind the halfway line.

There appeared to be no immediate danger when Sergio Busquets fouled Otavio inside Al Nassr territory.

However, former Manchester City defender Laporte spotted that Drake Callender was stood just outside of his penalty area.

Laporte cheekily decided to take a shot at goal and it could not have been more perfect.

The ball sailed over Callender's head and hit the inside of the net on the full.

Ronaldo reacted in the stands by jumping to his feet and throwing both of his arms in the air.

Meanwhile, Messi - who was sat on the Miami bench - was visibly stunned.

Laporte's outrageous strike was Al Nassr's third goal of the game.

Brazilians Otavio and Talisca had earlier got on the scoresheet in the opening 10 minutes.

Talisca netted two more goals in the second half to complete his hat-trick and Mohammed Maran was also on target as Al Nassr went on to win 6-0.
