00:00well let's take our first look at the team news for tonight's match we'll start with a home side
00:09the first thing to say is that Neymar isn't involved this evening after making his long
00:14awaited return from injury off the bench during the week and as for the visiting side Al-Tawun
00:20well they make three changes from last week's match a 2-2 draw with Damak on the road the
00:25former Al-Hilal defender Muteb Al-Mufaraj among those coming in he made the move during the summer
00:33and referee Andres Rojas gets us underway match number eight of the season Al-Hilal seven wins
00:47out of seven so far here comes Malcolm chasing down the right hand side challenge coming in
00:54sliding in was Al-Shuayl sliding in stopping a promising tackle it's a clear foul
01:01champion referee's ready I think it's Cancelo to take it trying to sneak it in at the near post
01:08clever difficult angle to score from I think the goalkeeper to be fair lined his two-man wall up
01:15well so he was going to have to be really precise to try and score from there
01:19Savic waits in the middle and waits in the right place for the delivery for Joao Cancelo
01:27Alexander Mitrovic inside the opening quarter of an hour normal service resumed for Mitrovic and Al-Hilal
01:39sort of stand still that's why they work it out wide Malcolm picks the pass good way to pass to
01:44Cancelo flashes it across the six-yard box what I would say is the marking is terrible someone's got to keep an eye
01:50Mitrovic force back to Girotto who loses possession to Alexander Mitrovic and Al-Hilal
01:58come powering forward now and it's denied by
02:02Myleson the goalkeeper blocking the shot from Mitrovic well it was an unexpected turn of events here on the halfway line
02:10Marcos Leonardo who finds a little bit of space tries to let fly it's a lucky bounce and it could so easily have been 2-0
02:16Well you're right it was a lucky bounce because I don't think
02:21Marcus Leonardo from about 35-40 yards should be taking the shot on
02:25Dalseri back into Milinkovic Savic who sweeps it in towards Alexander Mitrovic who nearly scored a spectacular back heel
02:35well that would have been some goal it was his only option to be fair
02:39made the run across the near post was a wicked cross in towards him and it fell nicely to try and improvise with the finish
02:46wouldn't that have been something look at this slow motion shot here of the back heel
02:50the four yellow shirted Altawun players hoping to get on the end of it shot Pedro
02:56What a glorious header for 1-1 and what a start to the second half
03:01Now that Albal Ali or Koulibaly got anywhere near him right in between the two centre backs
03:07looks like he's just onside what a header it will be checked
03:11yeah the semi-automated will just be looking at João Pedro and I would imagine Milinkovic Savic
03:17don't crowd like the look of that oh how unlucky
03:28his team are on the attack once more and it goes towards Al Dalseri in the middle
03:32and Milson put a whack there on the knee in saving the day for his team and Walid Al Ahmad in there as well
03:40usual to see him come on at some point during the second half
03:44Alsan didn't get hold of that one and it's 2-0
03:47Sergei Milinkovic Savic snaffles the chance after an hour
03:53ten more minutes plus added time brilliant skill from Malcolm still looks for an opening
03:59oh and it was very nearly a wonderful goal from Malcolm brilliant play from the Brazilian
04:04well I couldn't quite see if that was a Girotto block or a goalkeeper and save it might be a little bit of both
04:11a brilliant feat from Malcolm look at him trying to bend that into the corner
04:14yeah it's a bit of both
04:18there's Al Tawun with Sultan Mandash in possession now
04:23try to make the last few minutes interesting oh and João Pedro was so unlucky there
04:29what a save
04:30that was a brilliant shot because he took it so early João Pedro and he hit it with lots of venom at the near post and Aliyami pulled off a brilliant save
04:38goalkeeper relatively quiet night for him set to be a clean sheet and indeed that is what it is
04:45another game another win for Al Hilal with Neymar watching on
04:50Alexander Mitrovic set them on the road to victory with a close range
