00:00Welcome everybody watching with us all around the world a big Saturday night
00:08showdown from the capital as the Rawson Saudi Pro League continues on a match day
00:13three we're all set for Al-Riyadh to test themselves against the reigning
00:18champions Al-Hilal and from what we have seen so far Al-Hilal have every
00:23intention of remaining the top team in the land
00:30so here we go can Al-Riyadh get about Al-Hilal
00:40first attempt oh it's a great save by Borjan what a way for him to start as Salam Al-Dosari
00:53cut inside and let go it was nearly a wonder goal that it's brilliant from Al-Dosari it looked
00:58like a bit of Neymar the way he was dribbling there he cuts inside the
01:01captain and he's unlucky it's a really good shot but it's a very good save
01:07found space he should have come by again and that's drill right over the top by
01:11Marcos Leonardo it's a good strike from Leonardo he'd be disappointed he's not
01:15tested Borjan in the coke
01:18on the side here Borjan watched it right onto his gloves very carefully indeed save
01:26he should be expected to make but he had to make it yeah it's a good save from
01:31Borjan
01:32Dainty he threw a cut was great play from him but it's smashed over the top that's a
01:37chance really for Milinkovic Savic
01:39locked down by Soleimani with a Neves for Al-Hilal that's a terrific pass but again great recovery
01:49Al-Khibari was very alert Al-Khibari is brilliant defending the pass from Neves look
01:55at this this is an outstanding pass and he should deliver Leonardo there maybe can
01:59he think it to the back post and Mitrovic coming on but Al-Khibari is really good
02:03defender
02:07wide not by much
02:10another golden opportunity they've been a threat from set pieces and
02:13when the ball comes in good ball from Cancelo is Milinkovic Savic they've given the ball away
02:18and they might pay for it Aldo Sadi Milinkovic Savic rolls it across and Mitrovic cannot finish it
02:25he's right there on the penalty spot and i think just because he's the talisman
02:29Mitrovic they're trying to get him the goal but i think it's wrong decision for Milinkovic Savic then
02:36shot Cancelo
02:39getting rather bounced off Leonardo but Cancelo did his best to keep it going and
02:43the system's paid off he's won a free kick
02:45Al-Halal like the fullbacks to get forward he loves getting fullback better going forward than he is defending
02:53wow we have so far so good very much in the spotlight tonight now Cancelo down the outside
03:01Bojan rises to the occasion again well twice over the second one was flashy the first one he had to
03:07be on his toes and he kept the ball out of his net and it's the first quality i've seen from
03:11Yao Cancelo here he thinks it he doesn't clip it he thinks it and you know he's attacking it
03:16Milinkovic Savic a good save from Bojan
03:18now he thinks to deliver so close to the opener and i thought it was in look at it it's a fantastic
03:27strike and you're right Bono is beaten for me he will be beaten there's a gap in that oh he's so
03:33unlucky it's just because it was bending a bit but what what a great strike
03:37Bojan gets down but he can't quite keep it out this time the electrifying burst opened the way and
03:45the skipper comes in from the other side Aldoussari and finishes off the job Al-Halal who survived a
03:51mighty scare at the other end have gone in front yeah Aldoussari he's all about the captain he's so
03:57sharp once he gets on that ball tempo there's only one outcome because he's quick he wants to go and commit
04:02defenders and the finish is outstanding you can see it here good little run and he goes past the
04:07fullback like he's not there the finish is fantastic the little thing over Bojan is world class in my
04:13eyes because look he's not got it's an unbelievable finish what a goal that is and people will think
04:19oh it's an easy finish no because he's the only thing he can do is lift it over Bojan expertly in off the
04:24post what a goal
04:30now Bojan is in danger of being beaten here he is beaten Leonardo elegantly done but will the goal
04:37stand Leonardo runs away to celebrate another little dink over the goalkeeper worked nicely
04:43yeah it will be checked i think it may be the fullback on the far side may be playing Leonardo on
04:48it's a great little ball from Malcolm which could be his last kick of the game because he's cramping and
04:52once Leonardo gets into that position fantastic finish unless we missed something he didn't look
04:58offside there unless we've missed something in the build up he is offside so we were right the first
05:06time the goal is chalked off pushing right up and they spread eagles and they're beaten
05:14down Schell Cancelo on his debut I think he's outside again this time he did look offside Schell Cancelo I
05:24didn't you know it's the rule it is the rule and I understand you have to wait but he's looking he's
05:30well offside so you can see that so you can put the flag up early it's not even close like the Leonardo one
05:35Mitrovic
05:41another little dink over the goalkeeper
05:44that was delicious
05:45that was unstoppable
05:47that was the difference maker
05:50Mitrovic
05:51what did we say earlier on
05:54what did I say
05:54and you said it as well
05:56you said it
05:57good football know
05:58I said he's been quiet
06:00but I said he only needs a chance
06:02and once you give him a chance
06:03he'll take it
06:04it's Adesiri again
06:05the captain
06:05he's probably been
06:06the outstanding player for them
06:07going forward in the second half
06:09he does ever so well
06:10and the timing of the pass
06:11to Mitrovic is brilliant
06:12but once he gets into it
06:14this is a brilliant finish
06:16listen I know it takes
06:17a little deflection
06:18of the defender
06:19but it was going in
06:20so it's Mitrovic's goal
06:22it's a clever clever flick
06:24from the club's point of view
06:30on that as well
06:31another element sometimes is
06:33he may not be a starter
06:34but we're definitely
06:35not letting him go
06:36to one of our rivals
06:37oh hell no no
06:38that's a no no
06:39and he's making it happen
06:41in that penalty box again
06:42probably Borjan
06:46would have got that
06:47but the defenders
06:47certainly are not
06:48switching off
06:49that's very brave indeed
06:50again from Asiri
06:52yeah he is brave from Asiri
06:56really brave
06:56it's Kanu again
06:57and then it's good save
06:59and then it comes to
07:00another block
07:01and then this is a great block
07:03he's back turning
07:04you're not
07:04if you're not going to get that
07:05that's for sure
07:06oh that's very nice indeed
07:10Mitrovic
07:14oh
07:15while he's on the field
07:17he's a threat
07:18while he's on the field
07:19Al-Hilal always believed
07:21they're going to score
07:21and they've done it again
07:22way beyond
07:24the end of the allotted
07:25nine minutes
07:26cruel indeed
07:28on Al-Riyad
07:29Desari again
07:30down that left
07:30great little cut
07:31and the finish
07:32from Mitrovic
07:33is outstanding
07:33I think he puts it in
07:35with his fire
07:35or his knee
07:36it's a brilliant finish
07:38it's so good
07:40because it's at a difficult height
07:41but that's what
07:42that's Mitrovic for you
07:43and that is
07:43the sign of a top striker
07:45quiet in the game
07:46scores two really good goals
07:48now the referee blows the whistle
07:53we play way over time
07:54so they won't be happy with that
