Transcript

00:00Hello everyone and welcome to our live coverage of the big Friday night match in Riyadh at the

00:10Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium as we get ready for a local derby between two teams in the top six.

00:17Hosts Al Riyadh will have surprised a few with the start they've made to the new season and

00:21tonight they host Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nasser who are eager to close the gap at the top of the

00:26table after battling for a point against the unbeaten champions Al Hilal last week.

00:37We are now underway and Al Nasser in their traditional colours in the yellow and blue

00:42kicking from left to right in the first half this match live from the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium

00:48in Riyadh a local derby for a Friday night in the Saudi Pro League.

00:52Jose will chase after it, Otavio, twinkle-toed Portuguese player, sending it away to the far side and there goes Ronaldo.

01:05Does he fancy this himself? You bet he does and it's beaten away by Milan Borjan.

01:09That's the Ronaldo chance with loads of step overs but it's a comfortable save from Borjan.

01:16Got some defending to do here, Al Bouchard.

01:23And that's really good defending by Hussein Al-Nuweki.

01:26But Brozovic sends it over, Borjan parries it out to Al Ghanam who would have wished to have been a little more accurate.

01:35Yeah Al Ghanam he sees it, he hits it clean and it strikes clean.

01:39If that's on target he scores, it's good technique but it'll be disappointing probably he hasn't hit the target.

01:44And you're even thinking, he's Ronaldo, he's inches away from it, Cristiano Ronaldo tapping it in at the back post.

01:50But that definitely was a shot and yeah he's unlucky.

01:57Here's Brozovic looking for an opening.

02:00Marcelo Brozovic brings the save.

02:02It's good play from Brozovic on the edge of the box, he fakes the shoot on his right foot and he gets it onto his left foot.

02:08But Borjan, it's always, I thought that's a goalkeeper's height, it would be disappointing Borjan if that beat him in the goal.

02:14But it's good play from Bozovic.

02:23Here's Al Ghanam and it will be a corner.

02:32And Taliska with the header, bringing the save and the double save and then the frame of the goal.

02:40The shot from Mohamed Simakan rattling the woodwork.

02:43Yeah it's a good double save from Borjan and that is El Nasser's best chance.

02:48And Taliska has the first one, then he makes a good save from Ronaldo and I think Simakan hits the arm post.

02:54So great opportunity for El Nasser there but big save from Borjan.

02:57Otavio, here's Garib whipping it across, great chance first goal.

03:06Sadio Mane, five minutes from half time, his third of the season in the Saudi Pro League.

03:13He must be listening to us surely.

03:16What did we say, we've had lots of assists but he wants more goals but I must say this starts from back to front.

03:22The build-up play is fantastic and they managed to keep the ball.

03:24It's a great little ball from Otavio down the line and Garib who we said we want to see more in the team.

03:29Great cutback.

03:30It is a great finish from Sadio Mane because it's difficult.

03:33It's fired back across but the finish is brilliant.

03:42And here they come again and Sadio Mane clean through.

03:45Great chance for number two and he's denied.

03:47It's an excellent save by Milan Borjan.

03:54Abdulrahman Garib.

03:56Otavio trying to pick out Ronaldo.

03:59Palmed away by Borjan.

04:01Mane!

04:02Big block by Tambakhti and then just thumped away by Abdullah Al-Kaibari before Taliska.

04:09Taliska.

04:19Taliska, 100 not out is better.

04:30Taliska for Al Nasser.

04:31Oh, it was a superb free kick plucked from the air by the Al-Riyad goalkeeper.

04:38It's a brilliant save from Borjan.

04:49Ronaldo trying to send it forward here.

04:51Angelo plenty of yellow shirts up and Ronaldo's one of them.

04:55Good save.

04:56Taliska.

04:57Flag up far side.

04:58Won't count.

04:59Yeah, I could see he was offside but it's a good play from Angelo.

05:02And he bubbled it into Ronaldo but it's a good shot.

05:05Good save from Borjan.

05:06And I think Taliska might be just offside.

05:09I think he's in an offside position once Ronaldo has the strike.

05:13And treat the home crowd to some late drama and it just skips away from Salimani.

05:30There goes the final whistle and Al-Riyad who have been one of the surprise teams of the Saudi Pro League so far this season.

05:38Kept it tight.

05:39Kept it tight.

05:40Kept it close.

05:41Kept Al Nasser on the edge of their seats till the end of the game.

05:44But they couldn't find a way past Bento in the end.

05:48Tempers flaring a little bit.

05:50Certainly for substitute Ryan Al Blushi there.

05:53Who's having some words with the referee.

05:55But it is Al Nasser who win.

05:57And Sadio Mane who scored the only goal of the game late in the first half.

06:03It's their fourth away win of the season.

06:05And just what was required as they looked to close the gap to the teams above them in the table.

06:10Al-Riyad 0.

06:11Al Nasser 1.
