Clutch Highlights

Transcript

00:00Match Week 24 in the Roshan Saudi League continues at Al Awal Park as Al Nasser look to steady their faltering Asian Champions League qualification challenge in a Riyadh derby against Al Shabaab who have lacked consistency recently but are capable of causing any team a problem.

00:24This confrontation could come down to two veteran strikers, a European great and a Saudi legend.

00:34They get the match underway in their famous black and white stripes attacking the goal away to our left.

00:40It's another big night in the Roshan Saudi League with Al Halal, Al Akhli and Al Nasser all in action.

00:54Angelo, Ronaldo just holding his run, Angelo may look to go alone, now he finds Ronaldo driven wide and the shot is just wide.

01:04It's a good opportunity that for Cristiano Ronaldo, it's his second touch at a pool and Angelo finds himself getting through the Al Shabaab defence.

01:11It's just that touch there with Ronaldo's right foot, plays it too far in front of himself, really tight angle, manages to get the shot away.

01:18Somehow gets through a crowd of bodies, misses the far post.

01:24Angelo running through again here, Mane waits in the centre and he dispatches the finish but the flag is raised.

01:34Number 20 there in the middle of the field, he's looking across the defensive line.

01:39It's a pool from Angelo, he should keep himself on side, it's a good finish by Sadio Mane and in the end it's a good ball by Angelo across the base of the box for Mane.

01:47Just waiting on the check from Jermaine Delfino, the VAR official.

01:56It looked initially that he was well offside but as we know we look at different angles, he'll have a good look at it the VAR officials.

02:04Angelo looked to just straight offside and he has.

02:06And so we play on, nil-nil.

02:13Now Pedenz.

02:16Four wait for the cross, Pedenz going down, penalty!

02:22Al Shabaab with the opportunity to take the lead in the Riyadh derby.

02:26And Al Nasser's recent troubles may not be coming to an end here.

02:33He's protesting Al Bachel but I don't think it's going to get overturned.

02:36Really good skill by Daniel Pedenz.

02:38He gets the wrong side of the Al Nasser defender.

02:40He snaps into the challenge too late, catches Pedenz.

02:43Fatih Tarim immediately says penalty, he's confident.

02:46Ronaldo is talking with Bento.

02:50Bento, of course this will be checked but it has been completed and it is a penalty.

03:00And Hamadala makes no mistake, a very good penalty.

03:04And the veteran silences Al-Awal Park and Al Nasser's recent issues deepen.

03:12The Champions League challenge continues to wither.

03:15Al Shabaab lead 1-0.

03:17And it's a good penalty, that miss will have been at the back of his mind.

03:20It's a slow run-up, Bento guesses the right way.

03:24But it's a really good strike with his side foot.

03:27Confident looks at the goalkeeper.

03:29He waits for the goalkeeper to move but he goes the same way as the goalkeeper.

03:34But it's high, wide, away from the goalkeeper.

03:38And it's a goal that the game needed.

03:42Pioli very animated on the edge of the technical area.

03:44Angelo again.

03:47Al Shwek was pulling him down and the free kick's been given but outside the penalty area, which is the correct call.

03:54Yeah, good footwork by Angelo.

03:56Very quick, very sharp.

03:59Ronaldo whips this ball in and again it's blocked.

04:02And then fired through the crowd and fired in by Yaya.

04:05And a much-needed goal for Al Nasser.

04:10And Al Shabaab were not ahead for long.

04:13It's a massive goal for Al Nasser.

04:15It's a free kick, almost carbon copy of the one before.

04:18It's smashed into the six-yard box by Cristiano Ronaldo.

04:21Al Shwek, he gets a leg on it but all he can do is put it out into the path of Yaya.

04:26And that's a brilliant strike by Yaya.

04:28Half volley on his left foot, he catches it so well through a crowd of players.

04:32Goalkeeper unsighted.

04:34Gets his team back in the game just before the half-time whistle.

04:38Well, he scored in the recent victory at Al Aqli against his former club.

04:42That's his fourth of the season.

04:45Although it will be checked.

04:48I think we'll see it again now.

04:50I think they might be okay.

04:51Mane at the far post.

04:53Oh, it could be Mane.

04:53Sadio Mane just running across the goalkeeper.

04:56It's been given.

04:57Goal has been given.

05:00Brozovic.

05:03Al Hasan.

05:05Ronaldo chasing it, gets it from Mane.

05:07Oh, what about that?

05:11The flag is raised.

05:14But Ronaldo was quick to point out.

05:16He believes it should be a goal.

05:19Pick the bones out of this one, VAR.

05:21It's a lovely ball over the top.

05:22Ronaldo's onside when the ball's initially played.

05:25But Mane touches it there.

05:27But it comes off Hoek, the defender.

05:29The central defender from Al-Shabaab.

05:31After Mane's touch.

05:33I do think that one will be ruled out.

05:34Because Ronaldo was initially offside when Mane touched the ball.

05:38But it did come off the Al-Shabaab central defender.

05:41They're going to have to have a good, long, hard look at this one, VAR.

05:43The VAR official will be looking at all the angles.

05:54They're getting the word.

05:55And the goal is given.

06:02Ronaldo can celebrate.

06:05Well, it was a remarkable finish.

06:08And he's had to wait for some time.

06:11But now he can really let loose.

06:13There was a really good finish by Cristiano Ronaldo.

06:15Mane with the cross in.

06:29And Ronaldo's shot is into the arms of Buschamp.

06:32Those two again.

06:33The link up plate.

06:34Sadio Mane playing on the right-hand side tonight.

06:37In acres of space.

06:38Nobody goes to close him down.

06:39Got time to pick his cross, pick his man out.

06:42Into Cristiano Ronaldo.

06:44Doesn't quite get the contact that he wants.

06:45Tries to flick it to the far post.

06:47Instead ends up flicking it straight into the hands of Buschamp.

06:52Brozovic.

06:54Oh, that's a poor ball.

06:55Podentsk could be in here.

06:57Taken out by Al-Fatil.

06:59Now what does the referee do here?

07:01It's a red card.

07:04Mohamed, Al-Fatil, dismissed.

07:12And Al-Nassar are down to ten players.

07:14And really, they can't have any complaints.

07:17He was asleep, Al-Fatil.

07:19It wasn't a great ball by Brozovic.

07:20But it's a ball that the central defenders should have dealt with.

07:23He wasn't expecting the ball back from Brozovic.

07:25Al-Fatil was on his heels, leaning back.

07:29Podents gets in, nips in, gets the wrong side of him.

07:31Al-Fatil brings him down.

07:33It leaves the referee with no real option.

07:35It's a long way from goal.

07:36There's a lot could have happened between Daniel Podents and the goal.

07:39But the referee has to do it by the letter of the law.

07:41And Al-Fatil sees red.

07:44It's a big call from the referee.

07:46VAR's been checked and the way he's just tapped Al-Fatil on the arm and said, off you go.

07:51I suspect that's the check over.

07:53Red card stands.

07:54Renan, Hamadala, Al-Juwek could hit this.

08:03He does.

08:04It's deflected.

08:05And it will be a corner kick.

08:06Guanka with the corner kick.

08:12Kamara leaping.

08:13And the header is in.

08:16Al-Juwek with the equaliser.

08:19And that goal has been coming ever since the red card.

08:22The central defender with a towering header.

08:24And we're back to 2-2.

08:27Midway through the second half.

08:30Mane heading into traffic.

08:32But it finds Brozovic.

08:33The shot was blocked by Hutt.

08:34Brozovic again.

08:35Just wide.

08:39Well, that was an extraordinary passage of play.

08:48And that's it.

08:50A draw in the Riyadh derby.

08:52Fatih Terim's Al-Shabaab coming from behind to equalise against 10 players.

08:59Al-Nassar dropped more points in their pursuit of a Champions League place.
