Clutch Highlights

Transcript

00:00Hello and welcome to the Elinma Stadium, Al-Akhli against Al-Qadassia.

00:10A massive match in the race for a top three finish and AFC Champions League football.

00:19And Al-Qadassia get us underway in Jeddah against Al-Akhli.

00:23Fifth against third.

00:25And immediately visitors with an early ball forward up to one of their stars striking two.

00:34How about that for a bit of intent in the opening ten seconds.

00:41Given away to Galeno, that could spell problems.

00:44Al-Akhli might be in here and the referee points to the spot.

00:48Their first meaningful attack and they have a penalty.

00:52Al-Qadassia cannot believe it.

00:56It's the first major moment tonight.

00:59Well, it comes from a mistake, doesn't it?

01:01Al-Qadassia, they'll be so disappointed.

01:03Poor playing out from the back.

01:04And it is a penalty.

01:06In this huge game at the top of the RSL.

01:13Ivan Toni sets himself.

01:17Stares down the goalkeeper.

01:20And sweetly strikes Al-Akhli into the lead.

01:24His red hot run of form continues in the RSL.

01:2812 for the season for Ivan Toni.

01:31And now nine in his last 11 here.

01:38Kept the ball.

01:40Galeno on the move here.

01:42He wins his header.

01:44And he forces a corner.

01:45Jihad puts it behind.

01:46One more pushing and shoving right in front of the goalkeeper.

01:52Vega delivers.

01:53Oh, it's almost gone in.

01:55It has.

01:57Thumped home.

01:59And a second goal for Al-Akhli.

02:02It's turning into the perfect night now.

02:05To be honest, he's not going to score an easier goal this season.

02:08But it's about having different players arriving at the right time for Al-Akhli in different waves.

02:14So when that ball goes across, it doesn't miss everyone.

02:17It's a well-worked set piece.

02:19What a moment for the 20-year-old.

02:21His first goal.

02:23Only Al-Nasser better.

02:25So it's going to take a big effort to turn this one round.

02:29Al-Akhli are in the mood as they look to close the gap on.

02:34Their opponents in the race for a top three finish.

02:39Not quite on that attack.

02:40Nandez snuffed it out, but they've given the ball away again.

02:44And here is Kessie, the captain.

02:47Kessie hits it.

02:48Castilles makes the save, but it's still in.

02:51Castilles again.

02:53And they are living very, very dangerously.

02:57Kessie wants more.

02:58Tony, I'm sure, is offside.

03:00That's a brilliantly accurate finish, but it won't cap.

03:04Givin' that straight to Tony.

03:14It was a terrible throw, and it wasn't punished.

03:17As it holds up, he's Galeno.

03:27Again, running with such purpose.

03:30Or Galeno did brilliantly.

03:32It's off Nacho.

03:33It's an own goal.

03:34And it might just be the points wrapped up before half-time.

03:40Al-Akhli are producing quite the display.

03:44It's walking a tightrope.

03:45I love that little chop back as well onto his right foot.

03:50And it's about, can you find the right area?

03:52Will he can?

03:53And it's unfortunate for Nacho.

03:54Just sticks a leg out and nutmegs him.

03:56If that was a forward player, it would be a wonderful finish.

03:59But for me, it's a long road back now for Al-Qaeda.

04:04Al-Qaeda's clearance went out of play.

04:14That's a decent-looking ball.

04:15Puertas didn't get there.

04:17Julian Quiñones did.

04:19He scores again.

04:20And this game, not done yet in Jeddah.

04:26That's exactly what the doctor ordered, isn't it?

04:29And what I said about Al-Qaeda getting that goal early on.

04:33But they just switch off, Al-Akhli.

04:34You see from the throw-in, it's really poor.

04:37Lack of defending.

04:39The initial phase.

04:41And then it's about Quinonez.

04:43He's the one that really wants to be on the ball, on the front foot.

04:46And it's a real moment where Al-Akhli have switched off.

04:56They've taken this quickly, though.

04:59He comes back towards Toney.

05:00He might have been fouled. He was fouled.

05:04Oh, what an extraordinary beginning to this second half.

05:07It's another penalty for Al-Akhli.

05:12And a yellow card for Nandes.

05:17From the right-hand side.

05:19I think Toney does ever so well there.

05:21He is so, so clever with this.

05:24He just pops it through the legs.

05:29Can he double his personal tally for the night?

05:35Toney.

05:36Perfect again from the spot.

05:39Al-Akhli chasing down those above them.

05:44In the race.

05:46Before he knows it, Castile's the ball's gone past him.

05:53Must be quite hard for goalkeepers to practice,

05:55because it's such a unique technique.

05:574-1 lead not completely set.

06:02Particularly not when Ibanez gives it away.

06:05And here goes Kinyonez.

06:07Waiting for support.

06:09Aubameyang.

06:11Kinyonez again.

06:13Looking for that angle.

06:15And in the end, he delayed a little too long.

06:19Tries to win it back.

06:20Very scrappy.

06:22Puertas!

06:24Brilliant curling effort.

06:27It's a whisker wide.

06:29Well, I thought the moment had disappeared for Alcadesia.

06:33It took so long to try and work something, Kinyonez.

06:38But when it comes out here,

06:40Puertas does ever so well to wrap his foot round it.

06:44See, he takes it quickly.

06:47Kessie's down on the floor.

06:55It's a great ball.

06:56It's a brilliant save.

06:58And it denies Ivan Toni his hat-trick.

07:02Well, his eyes will have lit up.

07:05That was the moment he would have been waiting for.

07:09It's just flattened a little bit, but...

07:12Here's Aubameyang.

07:14And it comes through very neatly.

07:17What a save that is from Mendy.

07:20Extraordinary to deny Kinyonez.

07:25I thought for all the while this was in the back of the net.

07:28Lovely play, by the way, the build-up.

07:30One-touch football.

07:32At this point, I think...

07:34Tessia have got their second goal.

07:39Final few seconds.

07:42A statement victory for Al-Ajli.

07:46Who cut the gap between them and Al-Qadassia to just three points.

07:51Ivan Toni disappointed he didn't get a hat-trick.

07:54But he did score twice.

07:56And Al-Ajli, comfortable winners in the end here in Jeddah.

08:02They have beaten Al-Qadassia by four goals to one.

08:06Two goals to one.
