00:00.
00:05Friday Night Football brings the champions Al-Hilal to Daman.
00:09With little or no room for error as they try to chase down challengers.
00:12Al-Etihad were showing no sign of slowing down.
00:15A five-point gap became eight last night.
00:18Al-Hilal, for this week at least, need to win just to stand still.
00:23It is Al-Etihad in the green shirts
00:30and Red Sox kicking from left to right in the first half.
00:34Abdul Rahman is lively and he was too quick there for Renan Lodi
00:39and he'll take the return ball neatly floated over
00:43and pushed over the top by Bono and again it was Wijnaldum in the middle.
00:47This has been a very bright and positive start from the home side here.
00:53Drives the Champions Defence Open.
00:56Here he is causing real problems.
00:58Referee was in a great spot there.
01:00The foul was right on the edge of the penalty area.
01:07Very late first half opportunity here for Al-Etihad.
01:15Dran makes his final calculations.
01:18Sent it back across.
01:22Drilled in by Damari Gray.
01:24Back out to Joao Costa!
01:26What a strike!
01:27What a way to finish the first half!
01:30There was no saving that one.
01:35Joao Costa's first goal since the end of January.
01:39And the champions are behind.
01:44Al-Etihad fans haven't had much to cheer about.
01:48What a strike that is.
01:49Joao Costa on his left foot.
01:51He thinks why not?
01:52The referee is about to blow his half-time whistle.
01:55That is an absolute pure strike of perfection.
01:58What a way to finish the half that is for Al-Etihad.
02:01But as usual, we will have a VAR check.
02:04I think he's being asked to go and have a look.
02:06I don't think that's...
02:07I don't think it had an impact on the outcome of the play, do you?
02:12If the initial ball in there, if that was the goal, then yes.
02:17Then there's a foul to be given.
02:18But because it's the next phase of play for me, I think that's okay.
02:22I'm not so sure what they're going to get to.
02:24Goal, there you go.
02:25See, I do know something.
02:29It's 1-0 to Al-Etihad
02:31and the referee is happy with his on-field decision.
02:35With Madala coming on, he's dropped into the right-hand side,
02:38playing right back.
02:39He's obviously more comfortable there.
02:40The manager feels that Abdelrahman can do a job.
02:42Lovely looking ball into Renan Lodi, who just cuts it back.
02:46There's the equalising goal.
02:48Malcolm wheels away in delight.
02:51Al-Hilal much better at the start of the second half.
02:54Much more like it.
02:56So much difference in the pace of the counter-attack.
02:58Malcolm down that left-hand side.
03:00The interchange, the ball through.
03:02Milinkovic-Savic it is with the outside of his right boot.
03:06Lays it into the path of Lodi.
03:10Lodi's ball's excellent.
03:11It's not just a hopeful ball across the box.
03:12He picks him out, looks up, picks out Malcolm.
03:16Quality finish.
03:17That was an untimely slip by Milinkovic-Savic.
03:23Al-Malki into Damari Gray just wide.
03:29Damari Gray again spoke about it in the first half.
03:31Once he gets that yard of opportunity,
03:33whether it's a strike on goal or a cross into the box.
03:35Mitrovic lets it run.
03:39Caio Cesar pulling the ball back and just over the top from Alexander Mitrovic.
03:45He's getting closer.
03:47Again, it's the width.
03:49Look at those wide areas.
03:51Mitrovic might have known that he was offside.
03:53Leaves the ball.
03:55Malcolm wants all the little exchange between the two Brazilians.
03:59The pass picking up Marcos Leonardo.
04:01And it's over the top from Alexander Mitrovic.
04:05And what a goal that would have been.
04:07Here's El-Sharani keeping the ball in as well.
04:17And the little layoff into Caio Cesar.
04:19Good save, Marek Rodak.
04:21El-Sharani comes on, provides a width on the right-hand side.
04:25Cut back.
04:26Good save that time.
04:27It's with Malcolm.
04:29They're looking for that one moment of real quality
04:32that can win them the game late in the day.
04:34Over it comes from Lodi.
04:36And the diving header onto the roof of the net by Alhamdan.
04:43It's just all about his heading technique.
04:45Comes off his shoulder.
04:46Loops harmlessly over the bar.
04:52Alhamdan waits in the middle.
04:54And Marek Rodak had to keep his eye on that one.
04:57And this really is the last chance for now, Al-Halal.
05:00They've got a corner.
05:01I'm not so sure that Lodi meant to put the goalkeeper in trouble.
05:04Gets on his left boot there.
05:05He's looking to put that across the box.
05:07Goalkeeper scrambling back.
05:08Had to deal with it.
05:09There's the final whistle.
05:14It's a big point for Al Etifak that they worked very hard for.
05:19And Charles Costa scored a fantastic goal to earn them that point.
05:24But for Al-Halal, despite Malcolm's goal early in the second half,
05:30it is a crushing result really.
05:32It's finished.
05:33Al Etifak won.
05:34Al-Halal won.
05:35HAL-HALAL won.
