00:00Well Al-Hilal had a record-breaking 20-23-24, winning League Cup and Super Cup without losing
00:19a game in any of those competitions. The tallest of orders today then for Al-Aqli,
00:24who have the task of taking them on here at the Prince Sultan bin Abdelaziz Sports City Stadium in Abba.
00:33And we are off and underway, the first of the semi-finals in the Saudi Super Cup for 2024.
00:41Both sides in their traditional colours, Al-Aqli in the white, Al-Hilal in that famous blue.
00:47Both looking for it to try and make something of a statement from the start, given the fevered build-up that we see.
00:52It might actually happen here for Al-Aqli, they are first to threaten.
00:59Naby keeping it in play.
01:02There's some space for him to try and locate.
01:05Shumahan Al-Nabit is going to take.
01:09Lips it in with some pace, Bomou under his bar.
01:12Takes decisive action initially.
01:17Al-Nabit might get another go yet.
01:22Just over the head of Darissi.
01:27Yeah, and I like this corner a lot.
01:29Bags of pace on it.
01:30Under the crossbar.
01:32No one can get anything on it.
01:36It's the white sort of area again.
01:39Well, that was close.
01:40That was a chance.
01:42That's an Al-Tambakti up from the back was in there.
01:47It's a fantastic corner.
01:49We know about the delivery that Neves possesses.
01:54Bags of pace on it, which makes it easy.
01:57Tambakti does everything right.
01:58Heads it back across goal.
02:00Banez.
02:03A lot going on in there.
02:04It's cleared the head of Renan Lodi.
02:07Another opportunity maybe for Mahrez to whip it in.
02:11Banez there.
02:12Couldn't keep the header on target.
02:14Came at him quickly, but from that sort of range,
02:17it was a big opening.
02:19All the paces on the ball.
02:20He's just about on side as well, I think.
02:23And you see the way he moves his head so much.
02:26Doesn't need to do that.
02:27He's trying to put all the power on the ball,
02:29but it's already there.
02:30I think it actually comes off his shoulder in the end.
02:32He just completely misinterprets the ball.
02:37Yeah.
02:42So the added period extended
02:44because of the stoppage that we've just seen.
02:46And Al-Hilal flying forward here with Mitrovic in the middle.
02:48Didn't quite come his way.
02:50It did reach Michael.
02:51That's a big block on the line.
02:53Al-Hurais in the way.
02:56Al-Nabit back off
02:57after that period of treatment.
03:00Back in the thick of things, able to clear it away.
03:03But that was close.
03:04Absolutely brilliant by Al-Hurais though.
03:06How many times have you seen defenders
03:07duck out the way of that
03:08but make sure puts his body on the line.
03:11I think Mendy had it covered anyway
03:13and it's a really good strike from Michael.
03:14Keeps it down.
03:16But that is a goal-saving block.
03:20The pick of the chances coming right at the end of it.
03:24Yeah, it's really good play down the left-hand side from Al-Hilal.
03:26Look at this.
03:27Brilliant strike.
03:28It's controlled side foot.
03:30Knee over the ball to make sure
03:31that it stays within the width of the goal.
03:33But that is a fantastic block.
03:36I'll see him at some stage
03:38but let's see what comes from this free kick.
03:40First, it's a good one.
03:41He's perfectly on to the head of Milinkovic Savic
03:44and he's put it wide.
03:47Similar in terms of, I think,
03:48trying to get too much on the ball.
03:51And it's coming across you like that.
03:53All the paces on the ball.
03:54Wonderful delivery from that man, Neves, by the way.
03:57That's got to be glanced back across.
03:59You've just got to try and help it along its way
04:01but you see there gets full contact on that
04:04and completely makes a hash of it.
04:08And that's two golden opportunities for each side
04:11at that end of the pitch now.
04:14My intention, I think, was to return it to him pretty swiftly
04:16but it wasn't precise enough
04:17and Mah is now on the move
04:19as is Darisi.
04:24He did well to reach it
04:25and he's still going here
04:26and has he been able to find the finish as well?
04:28Not quite.
04:29Oh, he's unlucky.
04:31Such a swift, threatening counter-attack
04:34and Abdul Karim Darisi
04:36looked like he was going to finish it off.
04:39Yeah, he did.
04:40He's got a teammate in the middle as well.
04:44I think it's the right decision for Mino there.
04:47I think he's blocked off by Renan Lodi
04:49who tries to angle it in at the near post.
04:53Looks like it actually takes a bit of a touch
04:56off the defender on the way.
04:58It does take a little clip.
05:00Obviously saved by the keeper anyway.
05:03Mahrez.
05:04That's what they've done here.
05:05Yeah, Al Ackley Mahrez slips to the cross goal
05:07and there's the finish.
05:08Beautifully placed into the corner
05:10by Roberto Firmino.
05:13An Al Ackley lead in the Super Cup semi-final.
05:17I mentioned this just before the game.
05:20Not too much to choose between the goalkeepers
05:22in terms of defensively and shot stopping
05:25but I do believe that Vendy's a lot better
05:27playing out from the back.
05:29Wonderful ball out to Riyad Mahrez.
05:32He does really well with his right foot there.
05:35First time, just put it in a dangerous area.
05:38That dangerous area for someone to attack
05:40and this is a wonderful finish.
05:42By Bobby Firmino.
05:43It's bouncing up just before it contacts him.
05:46And he got a glove on it.
05:52Salim Eldorseri will return it.
05:55And there is the equalising goal.
05:58And who else?
06:01Mitrovic makes it 1-1.
06:02You see in the second phase here
06:09he comes out to get the ball
06:11changes his mind
06:13starts to backtrack
06:14he's so on set
06:15and that makes it so much easier
06:19for Mitrovic at that back stick
06:21equally
06:22the defending as well on him
06:25is Paul
06:25see no one with him
06:27really
06:28in the end
06:29it's a good header
06:31and actually
06:33they'll be so disappointed
06:35for all the hard work
06:37they've put in
06:37and
06:37the defending
06:39at the vital moment
06:40is Paul
06:41oh they were so close
06:45it's on by Michael
06:49and he bounced back
06:51towards him
06:52Michael over eager
06:57it's going to be that
07:03Michael Hamid's foul
07:06is the last action
07:07of regulation time
07:09Al Ackley were so close
07:11to a famous victory here
07:13they still may go on
07:15and record it
07:16but they will need to do so
07:17from the penalty spot
07:19because these sides
07:20in the semi-final
07:21of the Super Cup
07:22cannot be separated
07:24Al Halal
07:26rescuing things
07:27with that 90th minute
07:29equaliser
07:29from Alexander Mitrovic
07:31after a fine finish
07:32from Firmino
07:33had finished off
07:34a wonderful opening goal
07:35for Al Ackley
07:36it looked like
07:37it might be enough
07:38it hasn't quite been yet
07:39full time in Abba
07:40Al Halal won
07:41Al Ackley won
07:43and assumed the
07:44responsibility again
07:46the first penalty
07:46in the shootout
07:48and it's a good penalty
07:53it needed to be
07:54because Mendy went
07:56the right way
07:57but Ruben Neves
07:57kept his composure
07:59yeah he didn't falter
08:00did he
08:00that little stutter
08:01run up
08:01is waiting
08:02to see which way
08:03Mendy goes
08:04they'll score it
08:06in the game already
08:07Roberto Firmino
08:08does level it up
08:11without a little bit
08:13of fortune
08:13maybe this time
08:15just waiting
08:18for the goalkeeper
08:20to move
08:21and Bono
08:21be very disappointed
08:22with that
08:22the goalkeepers
08:23always are
08:24when it goes
08:24under them
08:24like that
08:25take their turn
08:28again
08:28another good penalty
08:30from Salim
08:31Eldorsuri
08:32at the same place
08:35really as Ruben
08:36Neves
08:36same outcome
08:36and it's saved
08:42by Bono
08:43read his intentions
08:45gets right by
08:47going right
08:47and makes the stop
08:48and it's the first
08:50twist in the shootout
08:51yeah it's a good save
08:53what I will say
08:54about this penalty
08:55it's a good height
08:56for the goalkeeper
08:57you see there
08:58it's mid goal
08:59and that's what you
09:00always want to avoid
09:01and even need to go
09:02Alexander Mitrovic
09:03forced this shootout
09:04in the first place
09:05with his equalising goal
09:06and he scores
09:07in the shootout
09:08down the middle
09:08and George Asus' side
09:11getting closer
09:12nerves of steel
09:14to go down the middle
09:16it's always a risk
09:17I think
09:18but
09:18clear in his convictions
09:20Mitrovic
09:21and he's missed it
09:28balloons it over the bar
09:30this is the Brazilian
