Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ahli - Highlights - Roshn Saudi League - 31st October 2024

Transcript

00:00This is the glorious King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

00:09Hello everyone, wherever you may be.

00:11Welcome to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia for the start of a thrilling few days of Saudi Pro League football.

00:17It is Derby week and the eye-catching opener to three consecutive days of football is this one.

00:22Al-Ithihad against Al-Ali and two teams who will showcase their stars here.

00:28Let's have a look at the two teams then.

00:30The standout piece of team news as Paul was saying there for Al-Ithihad is that their leading scorer Karim Benzema does not play.

00:37So how much of a boost might that be to Al-Ali tonight?

00:40Salah Al-Shahiri leads the line in Benzema's absence.

00:43That is the only Al-Ithihad change from their last league game.

00:47A 1-0 win at Al-Riyad in terms of the Al-Ali side.

00:50No Edward Mendy for them tonight.

00:52Al-Sambi is in goal just as he was for their AFC Champions League elite game nine days ago.

00:58And it is the former Al-Hilal youth player Al-Shahiri who gets us underway here.

01:05And so begins Derby week in the Saudi Pro League.

01:09And so we start the latest chapter in the oldest rivalry in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

01:16Bergwijn's not going to hang around and wait.

01:18Gets his shot away.

01:20And he does enough Abdul Rahman Al-Sambi.

01:24But that was awkward for Al-Ali to say the least.

01:28Waits for reinforcements.

01:31He's got three of them now.

01:33Diaby and it's in.

01:34First blood to Al-Ithihad.

01:43No Benzema.

01:44No problem.

01:46Here's replacement.

01:48Saleh Al-Shahiri.

01:49Steps up.

01:51And gives the home side the lead.

01:53Listen at the atmosphere in this place.

01:55The roof is coming off.

01:56The home fans have gone crazy.

01:58It's all about Diaby again.

01:59This goal's been coming.

02:00Diaby's pace.

02:01Diaby's movement.

02:02Gets the wrong side of his defender.

02:03Looks up.

02:04He's still got a lot to do.

02:05And he picks out Al-Shahiri.

02:07He's so clever.

02:07He's intelligent, Diaby.

02:09One way.

02:09The other way.

02:10Gets to the byline.

02:11Looks up.

02:11Cuts back.

02:12And Al-Shahiri taps it into an almost empty net to put the home side one up.

02:16But it's all about Diaby.

02:18Diaby's been a real threat the whole half.

02:22Kessi.

02:23What a lovely ball that is.

02:24Mahrez.

02:26He may have been offside anyway.

02:29Nearly came out of Gabri and the flag goes up.

02:31He did look offside, Riyad Mahrez.

02:34What a terrific ball.

02:39Al-Shahiri full of confidence.

02:41That's a lovely touch.

02:42Back.

02:42And that's off the post.

02:46Oh, Mohanad Al-Shankiti had the goal at his mercy.

02:50But he's hit the foot of the upright.

02:51But actually, it maybe was finding that bottom corner.

02:56And there's a deflection in there.

02:58Saved Al-Akri from going two down.

03:00Sad Ballade with the deflection.

03:01That's a good header.

03:02Back off the bar.

03:05Abdullah Al-Amri got a great contact on that.

03:08And a combination of woodwork and keeper.

03:11Here's Ivan Toney.

03:12Maybe he can do something here.

03:14It's Toney.

03:15And it's blocked.

03:16And look at that reaction.

03:18Right in the face of the away fans.

03:22Terrific stuff from Al-Amri.

03:24Brilliant defender.

03:27Absolutely brilliant defender.

03:28Look for all the world.

03:37On by Ibanez.

03:38And really good defending in there.

03:40But touchdown.

03:43The equalising goal from the captain.

03:49Opportunity from set plays.

03:50This is the initial set play.

03:52Headed back across goal.

03:53Flicked on.

03:54And it's a fantastic clearance at the back post by Mitaj.

03:57Comes out to Kessie.

03:58Unmarked.

03:59Six yards out.

04:00It's a brilliant clearance there.

04:01Mitaj.

04:01You think he's done all the work.

04:03Kessie on his left foot.

04:10I think the goal's going to be given.

04:12I mean, we've not had the proof.

04:13We're not privy to the close-up replay of what happened at the near post.

04:16But I suspect the goal may be given here.

04:18Well, this is going to be an interesting one to see what the officials have decided here.

04:40Well, they've ruled out the goal.

04:41Well, they've ruled out the goal.

04:46Just trying to ascertain exactly why.

04:49Ivan Toni is getting the explanation from the Venezuelan referee, Jesus Nol Saez.

04:55And again, it's Conte.

04:57Diaby.

04:58They can't let him get away.

05:00They have let him get away.

05:01It's Diaby to finish this off.

05:04It's Diaby.

05:06He's hit the post.

05:09Oh, goodness gracious me.

05:11Alakli with everybody forward, as you would expect.

05:14Ball comes into Diaby.

05:15And he gets away from Madrashi.

05:17And there's no catching him.

05:18Once he's away from him, the defender can't touch him.

05:21It's a big touch.

05:21It's a poor touch.

05:22But he's still got an opportunity.

05:24Curls it round the goalkeeper.

05:26Now, Letiad closing on on eight wins out of nine.

05:29The only blip on their season so far under Laurent Blanc.

05:33The defeat to the champions, Al-Hilal, who they will draw level with.

05:40Three quarters of this stadium rises to its feet in celebration.

05:47One goal enough to decide the Jeddah derby.
