00:00It is Derby week and they do not come any bigger than Al-Halal against Al Nasser.

00:11Welcome to you wherever you are watching.

00:13Live Saudi Pro League football coming your way tonight from the majestic Kingdom Arena.

00:19Second against third.

00:2028 league titles between them.

00:23It is the conundrum the capital cannot stop talking about.

00:27It is Al-Halal or Al-Nasser.

00:34The pride of Riyadh is on the line.

00:38The capital derby always matters and the stakes are huge here this evening.

00:44Al-Halal wearing all blue attacking the goal away to our right in the first half.

00:53And a great ball forward to Milinkovic Savic.

00:56The ball hits the crossbar.

00:57He was surely offside and the flag is eventually raised.

01:01And to Milinkovic Savic's relief.

01:03He was flagged offside as you can see there.

01:05Clearly offside.

01:06Saved his blushes because he didn't manage to put the finishing touches to it.

01:09But what an unbelievable start to this game.

01:11It is wide open end to end.

01:13Both teams going out to win this game.

01:14Milinkovic Savic now looking for Aldouseri and brave goalkeeping by Bento.

01:25That was good.

01:26Very, very quick shot by the Brazilian goalkeeper.

01:29Depth perception was excellent.

01:30Read the through ball.

01:31Off his line.

01:32Very, very quick goalkeeping.

01:33Now Nasser of course a team who often produce goals at both ends.

01:39As the early ball into John Duran and it's wide.

01:42What a chance.

01:42On a plate for him from Yaya.

01:46And Duran may be on the stretch.

01:49Unable to produce the finish.

01:52In towards Ronaldo.

01:54Saved by Bono.

01:55And Neves is there to clear.

01:58But the flag is raised.

02:00Brozovic again looking for the ball over the top.

02:02That one may have been a little bit tighter.

02:04He's got good technique.

02:05Cristiano Ronaldo didn't quite catch that one though.

02:08Rolled down his leg.

02:08He has been quiet since he's knocked to his shoulder that he got earlier on in the game.

02:15And here is Lodi coming forward on the left.

02:17Deep into the penalty area blocked by Bento.

02:20And it spins behind.

02:22And it's a corner kick.

02:23Oh, Mitrovic is absolutely furious with Lodi.

02:25Takes too much time and makes the wrong decision.

02:28Ball's well worked.

02:29Gets in behind Algonand.

02:31Algonand the full-back switches off.

02:32And Mitrovic is waiting and waiting.

02:34The ball doesn't arrive.

02:35Goalkeeper stays big.

02:37Touch it around his near post.

02:38Very deep here for Maldowsry.

02:43Looking for Malcolm.

02:44The header is looped and tipped over the top by Bento.

02:48Oh, Malcolm's managed to get that much space around the far post.

02:52He's just looped the header back.

02:53It's dipping in under Bento's crossbar.

02:55Good footwork by the goalkeeper.

02:57Doesn't get distracted by the defenders.

02:59Sticks to his task well.

03:00But it's further wide and a great run into the penalty area here.

03:05And the shot in the end squirts wide.

03:08It was Al-Nasdi who came forward and he was challenged by Bono deep inside the six-yard area.

03:15And away for a corner.

03:24Well, it was Koulibaly who came across to make that challenge.

03:27And the referee making it very clear that if there has been a check, it was a very quick one and it was waved off.

03:39Well, you can see Sadio Mane there.

03:41Even he's picking up his own players and telling him to get up and get on with it.

03:44There was no penalty there.

03:45VAR, as we know, we'll look at it, we'll check it.

03:48And they've been as quick and as efficient as the referee on the field.

03:53Corner has worked short this time.

03:55Al-Hassan, oh, brilliant!

04:00Ali Al-Hassan!

04:04And Al-Nasir are ahead right at the end of the first half.

04:08And the Kingdom Arena is absolutely stunned.

04:12Whoa, it's a brilliant goal.

04:15Ali Al-Hassan, take a bow, what a shot that is.

04:19Well-worked short corner.

04:21Comes out to Ali Al-Hassan.

04:24And you will not see a better finish than that this weekend.

04:28Brilliant.

04:40Brozovic now playing the ball through to Mane.

04:42No flag this time.

04:43Sadio Mane deep into the penalty area.

04:46Ronaldo!

04:49Cristiano Ronaldo strikes at the Kingdom Arena.

04:52And a player who has waited so long for a victory against Al-Halal may have seen his team strike decisively here in the capital derby.

05:06That was classic Ronaldo.

05:08Al-Nasir lead by two goals to nil.

05:10Two goals to nil.

05:11And it's a long way back now for Al-Halal.

05:16Superb.

05:16Absolutely superb.

05:18And here is Malcolm Simakhan, the great defending.

05:26He would not give an inch.

05:28And it's a corner.

05:29He's a top player, Simakhan.

05:30He's a player that I've liked ever since he's come to the RSL.

05:33Very strong.

05:34Reads the game well.

05:35And now Sarri's delivery.

05:38Oh, flicked on and in!

05:39Into the path of Al-Balahi.

05:43Easy header at the far post.

05:45But this is going to be checked by BAR.

05:48Well, Ali Al-Balahi.

05:51A player who's had.

05:52It's been given.

05:56It's been given.

05:56The check's complete.

05:58The noise from the home fans tells you it all.

06:00Well, Al-Balahi back in the side tonight.

06:01His fifth goal of the season.

06:06Well, now Sarri once again.

06:09Marcus Leonardo!

06:11And the deflection carries it wide with Bento rooted to the spot.

06:16Bento had no idea where that ball was going.

06:18It was a difficult deflection in front of the goalkeeper.

06:20Leonardo is so fleet of foot.

06:22Gets it out.

06:23Gets himself some space.

06:24Hits the shot, unfortunately for him.

06:26Frustrated.

06:30Here's Duran in pursuit.

06:32And he'll get there before Al-Balahi.

06:34Still Duran.

06:35He goes down inside the penalty area.

06:37What does the referee give here?

06:40There you can see.

06:42It always looks a lot harsher on a still, doesn't it?

06:45John Duran tries to get there.

06:47That's the handball there.

06:48From Al-Harbi.

06:50There's no foul in there.

06:52That's what they're looking at now.

06:54The left hand.

06:55Does that inadvertently take the ball out of John Duran's path and stop him giving him an opportunity?

07:02You've got to say it does, really.

07:03Yeah, that is the question I'll be looking at.

07:07How much does that handball prevent John Duran from getting a shot in?

07:11You've got to say, listen, it's a handball.

07:14The hand's in an unnatural position.

07:16And when you look at John Duran's last movement, when he goes to strike the ball at the end,

07:20he misses the ball by two or three inches.

07:22And that could be what's caused just by that ever so slight handball.

07:26Of course, it does brush the shoulder of Duran as well.

07:29So here, right at the end, where John Duran goes to strike it, we'll see now.

07:36Penalty!

07:38Handball against Al-Harbi.

07:39And this, Al Nasser's opportunity.

07:45What a big decision.

07:47What a big decision by the referee and his team.

07:49I think they've got the correct one in the end.

07:51I'm not so sure how much of a clear-cut good goal-scoring chance it was for John Duran,

07:56or whether it really was much of an opportunity.

07:59The Kingdom Arena holds its breath.

08:03It's Ronaldo!

08:06And Ronaldo scores!

08:07And Riyad is yellow and blue.

08:11Al Nasser lead by three goals to one.

08:15And their long wait for a victory in the capital derby

08:18is coming to an end here tonight at the Kingdom Arena.

08:23And when it's really mattered, Cristiano Ronaldo has delivered.

08:27A brilliantly taken penalty.

08:29A brilliantly taken penalty by the coolest man.

08:3240-degree heat outside.

08:34He doesn't feel any of it.

08:37Waits for the goalkeeper to go the wrong way.

08:40Gets his foot under it.

08:41Lifts it the other way.

08:43And he's given his team a massive, massive three points here tonight.

08:47As you said, Ronaldo will get the headlines.

08:53But the team tonight has been the star for Al Nasser.

08:55Riyad belongs to Al Nasser.

09:00They are victorious in the capital derby for the first time in four years.

09:06And is this the night when Al Halal's grip on the title trophy was finally loosened?

09:13Cristiano Ronaldo with two of the goals, including a late penalty to clinch it.

09:19Such a big win for Al Nasser.

09:21Such a damaging loss for Al Halal.

09:24Full-time.

09:25Al Halal won.

09:27Al Nasser three.

09:43Al Nasser three.

09:58Al Nasser.
