00:00Hello, welcome to Riyadh and to Alawal Park, the home of Al Nasser, where mid-table Al-Khulud are the visitors to the Saudi capital tonight.
00:14And they've already given Al Nasser a thorough examination this season.
00:18And if the drama is laid on anywhere near as thick tonight as it was when these two played out that astonishing 3-3 draw earlier in the season, then Clinton Morrison, we are in for a real Friday night treat.
00:33Yeah, if he even can get half a good a game as that was in the amount of goals, it will be a fantastic night.
00:38But as I said, the pressure's on Al Nasser. Al-Khulud will come here full of confidence in a good position in the league.
00:44It's a free hit for them, but pressure's on Al Nasser to deliver and get the three points.
00:48And Duran being put under pressure, he didn't really want the ball given to him in a dangerous location like that.
00:58And now Mane's got it for Al Nasser. And that was Duran and that's Ronaldo and that's 1-0 Al Nasser.
01:05And it has taken them less than four minutes, ultimately gifted up to Cristiano Ronaldo.
01:11And you simply cannot do that for him.
01:1419 Saudi Pro League goals this season and now Nasser are off to a flyer.
01:20They are. Al-Khulud, I do not know for the life of me why you try to play in these ridiculous areas.
01:25They lose the ball here and it's just, it's poor play and credit Sadio Mane, he does ever so well.
01:31And Duran does well, he swivels. I think he's unfortunate, he hits the post, but as all good strikers,
01:35and one of the best in the world, Ronaldo reacts.
01:38So there's still a lot to do, but it's a very good finish.
01:44Fancies himself, Melida here trying to burst between two.
01:49There's a smart bit of defending in the end from Angelo, but they didn't hold on to the ball for too long, Al Nasser.
01:54That's Malekka and that's Melida and that's 1-1.
01:57But the flag is up to deny him and just as he was off to celebrate what would have been a 13th Saudi Pro League goal of the season.
02:07Yeah, Melaka does well and it falls to Melida.
02:10Obviously, he's not happy, but it's a close one.
02:14I think the linesman might have just got it spot on.
02:17It might even be a toenail that's offside or a kneecap that's offside, but that is very close.
02:23He's got a better view than the referee has.
02:24Maybe they're looking at if Mane plays it through.
02:28And that is definitive, isn't it?
02:30Because if it is a Mane touch and it looks like it is, it's a goal.
02:34Look, Mane touches it.
02:35Yeah, it's a Mane touch.
02:37But then does he think it's a foul on Mane?
02:40So that's what he could be looking for.
02:41Is it a foul on Mane?
02:43Because Mane does touch it, but is there a foul on Mane?
02:45Has he caught Mane's boot and is he going to give a free kick?
02:48So there's two possibilities there.
02:51Well, he's already made his decision, the referee.
02:53It's a foul.
02:56And he's given the free kick.
02:57It's a good spot, Clinton.
02:58Yeah, it's a foul on Sadio Mane.
03:00You can see there there was contact.
03:01I thought you were looking at it and you were thinking Sadio Mane's played in three.
03:05He's not offside, but it was the contact.
03:07So fair play to VAR.
03:09This is my leader.
03:10Oh, Mane has found the room.
03:17He's got the shot away as well.
03:19And plunging on it not once, but twice was Bento.
03:23And even that wasn't enough to prevent the corner.
03:25Yeah, oh, Mane does ever so well.
03:27He just finds a little yard.
03:28He might take it.
03:29And he sees it late, Bento.
03:30It's a brilliant save.
03:34The goal scorer Ronaldo with a perfect pass.
03:37El Naci.
03:39And Mane, that's a beautiful goal from back to front so quickly.
03:44And on the end of it, Sadio Mane to double El Nacer's lead.
03:48It's a brilliant goal.
03:49It starts from Ronaldo, but the pass here from Ronaldo is outstanding.
03:53Fullback doesn't know El Naci's behind him.
03:55And I must credit El Naci because the ball in is even better probably than Ronaldo's pass.
04:00What a ball that is.
04:01Tristakon can't get on the end of it.
04:03And let me tell you, it is a difficult finish from Sadio Mane
04:06because he has to watch it right onto the instep.
04:08And it's a brilliant finish into that bottom corner
04:11because he's thinking Tristakon gets a touch on this.
04:13And he doesn't.
04:14And he has to watch it and control it and just guide it into that far corner.
04:18What a goal it is.
04:22It's Angelo.
04:24It's John Turan.
04:25And it's 3-0.
04:27The hit, two-fifths from John Turan.
04:30The fifth Saudi Pro League goal of his blossoming career in this country.
04:35And all the stars on show tonight.
04:38Ronaldo, Mane, Turan, 3-0 El Nacer.
04:41It's Nara Fuchel who has clearly hurt Norbert Jomber there.
05:05Proper kick across the shin, that one.
05:09Yeah, it was a naughty one.
05:13It's pretty hardened, Jomber, but even he would have felt the pain of that.
05:18It's a yellow card as well.
05:20It's a yellow card as well.
05:21So we've had bookings for two of El Nacer's four defenders inside the first two minutes of the second half.
05:26Well, Shamrani, that is potentially a big problem here for Bouchao, who has already been booked.
05:43So I imagine the red card is coming out of the referee's pocket, and indeed it is.
05:49And El Nacer are going to be reduced to ten men here.
05:52Yeah, Lajami, he's throwing the ball away.
05:54He's been booked as well.
05:55I wouldn't be doing that if I was him.
05:56Bouchao's just going to be sent off.
05:58He slips, I kind of get he slips, but once he makes contact, he's always going to get that second yellow card.
06:04So he's waiting, and the referee, but if I was Lajami, I wouldn't be throwing it away.
06:08And that's because they picked up two bookings just after half-time, immediately, with silly decisions.
06:14Yeah, that is two yellows in pretty much bang-on ten minutes for Nara Fuchel.
06:18Yeah, he slips there.
06:19He does slip, and then he kind of scissors him.
06:21So you kind of feel fortunate there, but he still wants to go and make the tackle.
06:24He's freeing him up.
06:26Maybe, you know, just go in and let him go and get his shot away.
06:30Just wasn't able to free his legs, really, of Al-Shamrani, was he, Bouchao, there?
06:35And he doesn't really want too much attention from the backroom staff, either.
06:38Exactly.
06:40This is Dieng.
06:42Mulekka.
06:43Mulekka, the deflection unkind.
06:45It takes it past Bento.
06:48And Jackson Mulekka continuing his rich vein of form in recent weeks.
06:52That's three in three games for him.
06:56And from Al-Khulud's perspective, the game is not yet done.
06:59They are looking for Mane, Mane to finish the game.
07:13Al-Khulud want the free kick, and it's not been given.
07:16I don't know what, yeah, he's given a foul, but then I don't understand why he's booking someone for, asking why he's not done it.
07:25And if you think it's a foul offside, put the flag up early enough, or just say it's a foul.
07:30Well, it says goal there, so we don't know what he's given at the moment.
07:36Well, Sadio Mane believes that he's got another one here for Al-Nassar.
07:39And it appears that they now are marching on, but no, indeed, that goal has been disallowed.
07:50Even the PA system inside the ground was fooled by that, because they played the music, they flashed the lights,
07:55but the goal has been chalked off, so it is still 3-1.
07:58They are still in this title race, Sal Nassar.
08:13They need to be perfect over these next couple of months.
08:17And tonight, thanks to a first-half display that saw three goals from their arguably three biggest players,
08:24Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and John Duran, Stefano Pioli's team.
08:30Ultimately, just a bit too good for Al-Kaloud, despite the red card for Bouchard in the second half.
08:37And the one back, Clinton Morrison from Jackson Maleka.
08:40Yeah, yeah, it was a really positive performance from Al-Nassar.
08:43And yeah, going down to ten men, you know, Al-Kaloud, they had a good game plan and it was difficult for them,
08:49but credit to Al-Nassar, defended ever so well and done what they had to do, which is get the three points.
08:54And with Al-Kadiyas here seemingly drawing tonight, Al-Nassar have made up some grounds in the Saudi Pro League on this Friday evening.
09:03It's finished Al-Nassar 3, Al-Kaloud 1.
