Transcript

00:00Match Week 19 in the Roshan, Saudi League continues at Awal Park in Riyadh as Al Nasser

00:12continue their pursuit of the top two at home to an Al Fire team who have improved under new coach

00:18Pedro Emmanuel. The match marks for league debut of Al Nasser's blockbuster signing John Duran

00:24and alongside him will be Cristiano Ronaldo.

00:30Pozuelo will try again in towards that near post area and the goalkeeper was nowhere

00:46and it was guided over the top it was a crucial intervention from Al Nasser.

00:53Yeah it was really good good header at the back post it's a great ball in from Pozuelo

00:57and they don't do with it at the near post. I think it yeah it's small in that flicks it on but really good defending.

01:05And now given away by Pozuelo here is Duran.

01:09Ronaldo in support Duran goes alone and it's a comfortable save for Mosquera.

01:14Wrong decision for me Duran. I'm not saying because it's Cristiano Ronaldo you have to give it to him

01:19but it's on your weaker right foot. I know he's not had many touches but as soon as the defender can

01:23it's good defending because he kind of shows him to go on his a weaker right foot

01:27but I think you've got to give it to the main man Ronaldo then.

01:29Now Duran picks up a loose ball again onto that left foot and John Duran has arrived

01:41in the Roshan Saudi league.

01:45The blockbuster signing delivers on his debut.

01:49He just bends it into that bottom corner. What a finish for Duran and what a start.

01:54Al Rashidi the player who was initially robbed by Mane.

01:59And then John Duran threading the eye of the needle to find the back of the net

02:05and delight his coach.

02:08And there's an Aston Villa fan in the crowd to celebrate with him.

02:11And it's forward towards Ronaldo.

02:20Ronaldo plays it square to Mane who rolls it in.

02:26But the flag has been raised.

02:28Yeah I see it straight away.

02:29You can see it.

02:30I think Ronaldo wants to pass quicker.

02:32Angelo just takes that extra touch and he can't hold his run.

02:35So if he plays it now.

02:37Yeah he's offside.

02:38Just before that it'd have been onside.

02:39But it's an unselfish play from Ronaldo.

02:41Because you think nine times out of ten he'll go for a goal.

02:43But Angelo just has to move it a bit quicker.

02:45But good play again.

02:47Wooding the header above Brozovic.

02:48Now down the centre.

02:49Looking for Lopez who takes that down well.

02:52And the save is made by Bento.

02:53Lopez again.

02:55Here is Fashan Sakala.

02:56Great chance.

02:57Oh he's blown it.

02:58What an opportunity to equalise there.

03:00And this is from Lopez.

03:02In between the two centre halves.

03:04Laporte and Lajami.

03:05And then you're thinking it's a good save from Bento.

03:08Comes to him now.

03:08But just beat him on his near post Bento.

03:11He's spread himself well.

03:12But he's got to do better in that fashion Sakala.

03:15It's a great opportunity.

03:18Bento rather shoveling the ball into his path.

03:21It's all a bit tight for Alvese.

03:33But Shakurov is able to find Sakala.

03:38And he really is the danger man on the left hand side.

03:41Shakurov infield.

03:42Oh great shot.

03:43And an even better save by Bento.

03:46It's a brilliant play from Shakurov.

03:47And from Fashan Sakala.

03:48And Shakurov thinks that is going into the top corner.

03:51What a save that is from Bento.

03:53Because right behind him.

03:54When you see him strike this Shakurov.

03:55You're thinking this is heading into the top corner.

03:57It's a fantastic save from Bento.

03:59Well he's yet to score in the Roshan Saudi League.

04:03And the Uzbekistan international won't come much closer there.

04:07Bento though showing real elasticity.

04:12Rinaldo.

04:15Driven in towards Mane.

04:17The missed kick from him.

04:19Abushal.

04:19Mane again.

04:20It takes a deflection.

04:24Appeals for handball I think.

04:25I just feel this is hard to be fair.

04:28When you're that close.

04:29I can't see that when you give him.

04:31Because I think he slides and it hits his back arm.

04:34And he doesn't really know much about it.

04:37Well his back was turned.

04:39No way.

04:39If that's a penalty.

04:41No way.

04:42No chance.

04:42Al Rashidi the player who was involved.

04:45His back was turned.

04:46And it hits the inside of his arm.

04:48And then deflects wide.

04:52Brozovic.

04:53Durant offside.

04:55And the play's continued.

04:58And Mane has put the ball in.

05:00But the flag was raised some time before.

05:03Yeah I don't know if the referee didn't see it.

05:04But you're right.

05:05The linesman put his flag up straight away.

05:08They do keep a good line.

05:09But they have to get back onside there.

05:11On Nasser players.

05:12They actually.

05:12That's lazy centre forward play from Durant.

05:14It's a good ball from Brozovic.

05:16But he has to get himself back onside.

05:19But here is Ronaldo again.

05:21And this time it's wide.

05:22Now that's the best one.

05:25Nigel he's had.

05:25You're right.

05:26The one before was the best one.

05:27But this is a golden opportunity.

05:29They give the ball away again.

05:30Chris Smalling trying to play out from the back.

05:32No.

05:33Don't need to do that.

05:34Just go.

05:34And then once it comes to Ronaldo.

05:36You're thinking.

05:37Can he find that bottom corner.

05:38And you're so surprised.

05:39He hasn't even hit the target.

05:42Rippling the wrong side of the netting.

05:48Mane.

05:50Duran makes the run into the centre.

05:52Here is Duran.

05:54And the goalkeeper.

05:55Unable to keep it out.

05:56And it's Duran Duran.

06:00On his El Nasser debut.

06:08Salaheem.

06:09Forward to Abushal.

06:11Pulled back to Ronaldo.

06:13And Cristiano Ronaldo scores the first goal of his fifth decade.

06:23And yet again he proves age is just a number.

06:30It's brilliant here.

06:32Brilliant play down the right hand side.

06:33He's so determined, Ronaldo, to get there.

06:36And it's brilliant.

06:36Brilliant little topo into that bottom corner.

06:39But look at the desire.

06:40If you're a young player, just watch Cristiano Ronaldo.

06:42He has desire to get in there.

06:45At his age he doesn't need to have that desire.

06:47But he still has that desire.

06:48Because he loves scoring goals.

06:49It's a brilliant finish.

06:53And in the blink of an eye.

06:55It's become 3-0.

07:00Here's an opportunity for Sakala.

07:03And fashion Sakala.

07:04Hammers it just over the top.

07:05But he was offside.

07:08Mane.

07:10Miran made the run forward.

07:12But it slipped through towards Gaurib.

07:14Oh, and Mosqueri does really well.

07:19Thank you, Matt.

07:20Get a red card.

07:21Oh.

07:22Well, he handled the ball.

07:24And it's a red card for the goalkeeper right at the end.

07:27Yeah, right.

07:28It's a great little ball from Sadio Mane.

07:30Reverse ball.

07:30And they were appealing.

07:32And he wants it, Mosqueri.

07:33Because if he's saying that, then he knows he probably hasn't touched it.

07:36But, yeah, they were appealing.

07:38And you can see he wants the VAR to have a look, which they will do.

07:40So, if you're like that as a goalkeeper, Mosqueri, you must be confident you haven't handled it.

07:45Well, we'll see here.

07:47He has handled it.

07:50Well, it just clips up.

07:52He's in the box.

07:53Mmm.

07:54Is he on the line?

07:55It's a close one.

07:56Good luck, VAR.

07:57Well, maybe they need to look at the 18-yard camera.

08:02Anastasios Tazilos is the VAR official.

08:09We've not had a lengthy VAR check.

08:11And now, right at the very, very end.

08:13And you can see there, he's just inside the area.

08:16And his momentum takes him out.

08:17Well, it's a fairly short look.

08:19And the red card is rescinded.

08:23And rightly so.

08:24Yeah, definitely.

08:26But that is the final act of the game.

08:30But it's all been about Al Nasser's strikers this evening.

08:34John Durand with two goals on his Roshan Saudi League debut.

08:40It's a night he'll remember as he makes the instant impact.

08:44And Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in his first game as a 40-year-old.

08:51Stefano Pioli gets the win his team needed to try and keep pace with the top two

08:58and also hold off the challenge of Al Hadassia in third place.

09:04It is finished.

09:05Al Nasser three.

09:06Al Fire nil.

09:07Al Fire nil.

09:26Al Nasser.

09:27Yeah.

09:28Yeah.

09:29Yeah.
