Clutch Highlights

Transcript

00:00A Riyadh rivalry renewed at the start of a new Saudi Arabian season and today

00:16relocated 600 miles or so southwest to the city of Abba, venue for this Super

00:22Cup final between last season's top two, Al Nasser again facing up to the

00:26dominant domestic force of Al-Hilal with silverware at stake in the Super Cup

00:32Al-Hilal won as recently as April, this time around it's back as the curtain

00:38raiser

00:42Al-Hilal who get the action underway all in the white from left to right, won't be too

00:49many surprises Sam Park in between these two sides given the frequency and

00:53intensity of recent meetings, but no doubting the importance

01:07First opportunity for Michael to flash it in and it had to be dealt with and touch

01:11behind, it's quite brilliant ball, it's the perfect area to hit, Milinkovic-Savic does make

01:16the distance up

01:21that actually came all the way through to the keeper and it just glanced that on

01:26he had a little look over his shoulder, Milinkovic-Savic trying to just flick it

01:29across the six-yard box I'm sure nearly ended in a known goal

01:32to try and win it back here and will turn it towards Yaya

01:39Albonu got a glove on it, appeals are ongoing as the keeper comes clear

01:44and Trizak's got the counter attack, you could see what he was trying

01:48Cristiano Ronaldo's complaints continue though

01:50they're not interested, the officials, Ottavio did really well there to keep that alive

01:55yeah, he's never going to get to the ball even with his spring

01:59Neves taking the pass from Koulibaly

02:03helping it wider

02:05this is a strong run

02:07just maybe try to take on one too many Salomel Dorseri

02:12because he had other options in the middle

02:14yeah, the change of pace was electric, once he received it off

02:17Neves, clever play

02:19Malcolm, well thing actually

02:21Algonand does brilliantly not to make a challenge there

02:23just to put the brakes on

02:25make sure that he wasn't going to be giving away a penalty

02:29kind of brother on the bench, Abdul Hamid is the regular really in that right back role

02:33he started the semi-final as a substitute

02:37looking for Adyami today as that one thrashes in off the post

02:41and he's scrambled away, it's not going to count or it wouldn't have counted

02:45but hearts were in mouths for a moment with Mitrovic in there

02:49yeah, he went really early here, keeping an eye on him

02:52just probably encapsulates the start he's had to this game

02:54a little bit frustrated, desperate to get in there

02:56miles too early

02:58it's a wonderful fingertip save though

03:00quite brilliant from Vento

03:02Koulibaly

03:04Garib, able to bring it down

03:06bring it under his spell

03:08and he's still going here, Garib

03:10did really well in towards Ronaldo to get the touch

03:12and late in the first half, Al Nasser in front in the Super Cup

03:20he's afforded a nice little bit of space that said

03:24to Malcolm

03:28and floats it in towards Mitrovic

03:30making a nuisance of himself in between the two defenders

03:34he just did enough to deny it

03:40without Malcolm in support

03:42maybe that's key, just getting Malcolm a little bit more the ball

03:46Savic gets it back from Mitrovic

03:48and walks his way through

03:50to score the equalising goal

03:56Al Halau back on his arms

03:581-1

04:00after the initial few touches

04:02you're willing this to end up in the back of the net

04:04that is brilliant

04:06driving through a couple of challenges

04:08the little roll with the studs as well

04:10enjoyed that just to open up the shooting opportunity

04:12and that's the only place it can go probably

04:14high into the net

04:16lifts it on his weaker side

04:18beyond Vento into the roof of the net

04:20it's a quite brilliantly fashioned equalising goal

04:24defence coming under more sustained pressure now though

04:28Neves with the cross

04:30Mitrovic rising

04:32and getting the touch to it

04:34to turn this around

04:36good deliveries in this second half

04:38and this is just exquisite from Neves

04:40because it takes the goalkeeper out of the game

04:42he just comes wandering

04:44comes looking for it almost the goalkeeper

04:46and as a centre forward

04:48when that is in flight

04:50your eyes are lighting up

04:52the trajectory of it means

04:54it's such a simple finish for

04:56Mitrovic who's getting the run

04:58on his opposite number

04:59goalkeeper in no man's land

05:01you've got to say really

05:02had he stayed

05:03maybe he could have

05:04changed his position

05:05and come out and claimed that

05:07in the end

05:08Mitrovic gets a

05:09a really simple goal

05:10brilliant ball in it was

05:17that's well worked

05:18that was cut back by

05:19Malcolm for Mitrovic

05:20and that might just do it

05:24he's got himself another one

05:26Tellez for example

05:27just getting back into the picture now

05:28I think

05:29too many players tiptoeing forward

05:30don't regain their shape

05:32they're detached

05:33you can see

05:34the defensive line is all over the place there

05:36when Malcolm takes the seat of that

05:37intelligent play though

05:39putting it back into an area

05:41and Mitrovic is just alive isn't he

05:43to pull out

05:44he's quicker than any opponent

05:45repositions himself and then just

05:48thumps that into the roof of the net

05:51it's another real clinical finish from him

05:53having not been in the game

05:55on a hat-trick all of a sudden

05:57it's a heavy touch

06:04but could be a gift of a goal

06:05it is

06:06nightmare moment for Bento

06:08and it's all going wrong for

06:10Luis Castro

06:11and El Nacer

06:12centre half split

06:13it's just a heavy touch off the right foot

06:15and then he's scrambling to recover

06:17he's a little bit rash the way he goes in

06:19Malcolm evades it

06:21thought for a moment he was going to step aside

06:24and allow Mitrovic to get his third

06:26but Malcolm

06:28desperate to get himself on the scorching

06:29and does so

06:30a gift

06:32some return

06:34from Malcolm

06:36and they've made it count in some style

06:39in the second half to get the job done

06:41Malcolm

06:44no longer in doubt really well before the conclusion

06:47owing much to a couple of quick goals from Mitrovic

06:50after a brilliant equaliser from Milinkovic Savic

06:53the last one was gifted somewhat to Malcolm

06:55and Al Halal hold on to the Super Cup

06:58winners in the final by four goals to one for the second season

07:01in succession

07:03they lift it for a record extending fifth occasion

07:06Al Nacer one, Al Halal four

07:09is the way it's finished

07:10the presentation now

07:12it's what they've been waiting around for

07:14it's what they've become accustomed to seeing really of late

07:17the Al Halal supporters

07:20whatever the competition certainly domestically

07:23their side have been the dominant force

07:27they have put on a show

07:36in ABBA tonight

07:38and indeed over the

07:39course of the last few days

07:41with those two

07:42closely contested semi-finals as well

07:44and Al Halal about to lift the prize

07:47the prize

07:51the referees I think will be up first the officiating team

07:54from Portugal tonight

07:57had a good going didn't he

08:03not as well as Diaz

08:04in charge

08:05just took this thing out of some situations

08:08a few flash points

08:09the referee gets the right feeling

08:11the officials

08:12did a really good job tonight

08:15you always get to be an edge when these two rivals

08:18get together

08:19that's certainly the case throughout the contest

08:21so they receive their medals for the part that they've played

08:30there's such a sense of occasion

08:33in circumstances like this

08:38the decision made this year to

08:40bring this competition back to its

08:42traditional home really is the curtain raiser

08:44to the new campaign

08:46it's the first time in six years that it has been the case

08:49it has set up Al Halal with the opportunity

08:53to make a super start to the defence

08:56of their trophies

08:58one of them secured already

09:03before they get their medals

09:05before they get the trophy

09:07and applause for the runners-up

09:09once again

09:10Luis Castro and his side

09:12have to settle for second

09:14in a two team contest with Al Halal

09:17it was the case in the title race

09:19it was a race really that

09:20Al Halal were well clear of long before its conclusion

09:24it was the case

09:25in a much more closely contested cup final

09:28in the final game of last season

09:32they struck first today

09:33they briefly raised hopes just before half time

09:36they didn't get as close

09:37as it turned out this time around

09:39frustration that they will use to fuel what will come in the campaign ahead

09:46but it's a familiar feeling I guess the disappointment that they're having to digest right now

09:51yeah I suppose it's that motivation they're gonna have to take from this to

09:56to be better I think

09:59and to match

10:01there are other rivals that are gonna

10:03along with Al Halal come back strong

10:05start of the season

10:06they're gonna wanna make it

10:08you know a more thrilling title race

10:10I'm sure those sides

10:11and

10:12just won't wanna feel this again

10:14so they gotta use this as motivation

10:16all smiles now

10:18and

10:19raw feeling that comes at the

10:21final whistle

10:23maybe starting to subside

10:24and

10:25you can switch your thoughts towards the start of the campaign

10:27and

10:28and how they're gonna go about

10:29achieving their goals

10:30got enough good players

10:32haven't they to be closer to Al Halal

10:33that

10:34absolutely wasn't evident

10:35today in that second half

10:37maybe a few additions

10:38to come

10:39and

10:40maybe that will freshen up the

10:41the appetite

10:42as well

10:47and Ronaldo got his customary goal

10:49at the end of the first half

10:51ultimately not enough

10:52Sadio Mane

10:53maybe didn't quite have as

10:54significant to say

10:55today as he would have been hoping for

10:57there has been a little bit of speculation

10:58about

10:59his future

11:00a season

11:01into his career at the club

11:03played his part in the semi-final success

11:06in setting up one of the goals that

11:08that got them here

11:09that earn their shot at their great rivals

11:11again another shot at their great rivals

11:13once more they have

11:15just fallen short

11:17coming off second best

11:19against Koulibaly

11:20in the back of the Senegalese

11:22as has tended to be the case

11:24during their respective spells

11:25in Saudi Arabia

11:26so far

11:27so the runners-up medal is handed out

11:30now the party can get started

11:32very shortly for Al Halal

11:34they've waited patiently haven't they

11:36since the full-time whistle went

11:38as the presentation party

11:40is assembled on the podium

11:42I'm sure Jesus will lead his side up

11:44yet again he's getting used to this

11:55with another trophy

11:56yet another medal for the collection

11:58for Jesus

11:59the age of 17 now

12:01a serial winner

12:0224 competitions won across three continents

12:05three Saudi Super Cups

12:07three Saudi Super Cups to his collection now

12:10no sign of a letter

12:13and his team's domestic dominance

12:16that will be maybe even more important

12:18significance of this success

12:20as much of the medals that they're receiving

12:23around their necks

12:24Mitrovic with two goals in quick succession

12:26taking this final away

12:28from Al Nasser

12:29once again he was in the right place

12:31wasn't he to do what he does

12:32he was quiet in the first half

12:36that's for sure

12:37I think when he faces games of that nature

12:40he sometimes comes really deep

12:42and starts looking to get involved in the build-up play

12:45so pivotal he is working as a focal point

12:48he's always the first kind of outlet for a side to try and hit

12:51but today

12:53stayed in the box

12:55as an opposition you got to try and keep him out of there

12:58it sounds simplistic but

13:00as soon as you allow him to

13:02get the run on you

13:03he's so aggressive

13:05with intelligence as well

13:07his movement

13:08to position himself

13:09where he's going to get chances

13:11very Mitrovic goals it felt tonight

13:13a far post header

13:14and a finish from what six or seven yards out

13:17where he was just the quickest to react in the 18 yard box

13:19so yeah

13:20I mean there's no one comparable is there

13:22I don't think in the league

13:23who's going to give you that consistency

13:25and that regularity of performances

13:29so

13:30it's something that the others are going to have to get on with

13:33really to

13:34find those goals

13:35probably from various sources

13:37rather than that one player

13:38who is just so consistent

13:40but yeah

13:41he has

13:42like Ronaldo

13:43just an incredible desire

13:44to find the back of the net

13:46both starting as they mean to go on

13:50at the opening of a new campaign

13:52but it's Mitrovic's moment tonight

13:55with the two goals that turn this around

13:57so that

13:58brilliant equaliser from Sergo Milinkovic Savic

14:01in which Mitrovic played his part as well

14:03just over ten minutes into the second half

14:06that Milinkovic Savic equaliser

14:07it changed everything really didn't it

14:09as it turned out

14:10it did

14:11it was a moment of rare quality at that stage

14:13brilliant goal from him

14:15as I said during the commentary during the game

14:17every touch almost had to be perfect

14:19he had five or six touches maybe

14:21Milinkovic Savic

14:22but

14:23the way he had to

14:24maraud through challenges

14:26and then the finish itself

14:28when the goalkeeper's spreading himself

14:30to lift it

14:31showed great intelligence as well

14:32so it was a brilliant goal

14:33so the medals are around the necks

14:36and the captain now is about to

14:38lift the trophy

14:39Salam Aldossary

14:40the skipper with more success

14:43to celebrate

14:45the fifth Super Cup win this for Al Halal

14:47he's been involved as Al Dorsary

14:49and all but the first of them

14:51and they take his place I think

14:54in the middle of his teammates on that stage

14:56very shortly before lifting that trophy aloft

14:59no sign soon of them losing this winning feeling

15:05on the evidence of what we've seen tonight

15:09Salam Aldossary makes his way to his teammates

15:12to start the celebrations

15:14because once again Al Halal

15:16have won the Saudi Super Cup

15:35where he puts his wrist
