Clutch Highlights

Transcript

00:00Well Al-Hilal had a record-breaking 20-23-24, winning League Cup and Super Cup without losing

00:19a game in any of those competitions. The tallest of orders today then for Al-Aqli,

00:24who have the task of taking them on here at the Prince Sultan bin Abdelaziz Sports City Stadium in Abba.

00:33And we are off and underway, the first of the semi-finals in the Saudi Super Cup for 2024.

00:41Both sides in their traditional colours, Al-Aqli in the white, Al-Hilal in that famous blue.

00:47Both looking for it to try and make something of a statement from the start, given the fevered build-up that we see.

00:52It might actually happen here for Al-Aqli, they are first to threaten.

00:59Naby keeping it in play.

01:02There's some space for him to try and locate.

01:05Shumahan Al-Nabit is going to take.

01:09Lips it in with some pace, Bomou under his bar.

01:12Takes decisive action initially.

01:17Al-Nabit might get another go yet.

01:22Just over the head of Darissi.

01:27Yeah, and I like this corner a lot.

01:29Bags of pace on it.

01:30Under the crossbar.

01:32No one can get anything on it.

01:36It's the white sort of area again.

01:39Well, that was close.

01:40That was a chance.

01:42That's an Al-Tambakti up from the back was in there.

01:47It's a fantastic corner.

01:49We know about the delivery that Neves possesses.

01:54Bags of pace on it, which makes it easy.

01:57Tambakti does everything right.

01:58Heads it back across goal.

02:00Banez.

02:03A lot going on in there.

02:04It's cleared the head of Renan Lodi.

02:07Another opportunity maybe for Mahrez to whip it in.

02:11Banez there.

02:12Couldn't keep the header on target.

02:14Came at him quickly, but from that sort of range,

02:17it was a big opening.

02:19All the paces on the ball.

02:20He's just about on side as well, I think.

02:23And you see the way he moves his head so much.

02:26Doesn't need to do that.

02:27He's trying to put all the power on the ball,

02:29but it's already there.

02:30I think it actually comes off his shoulder in the end.

02:32He just completely misinterprets the ball.

02:37Yeah.

02:42So the added period extended

02:44because of the stoppage that we've just seen.

02:46And Al-Hilal flying forward here with Mitrovic in the middle.

02:48Didn't quite come his way.

02:50It did reach Michael.

02:51That's a big block on the line.

02:53Al-Hurais in the way.

02:56Al-Nabit back off

02:57after that period of treatment.

03:00Back in the thick of things, able to clear it away.

03:03But that was close.

03:04Absolutely brilliant by Al-Hurais though.

03:06How many times have you seen defenders

03:07duck out the way of that

03:08but make sure puts his body on the line.

03:11I think Mendy had it covered anyway

03:13and it's a really good strike from Michael.

03:14Keeps it down.

03:16But that is a goal-saving block.

03:20The pick of the chances coming right at the end of it.

03:24Yeah, it's really good play down the left-hand side from Al-Hilal.

03:26Look at this.

03:27Brilliant strike.

03:28It's controlled side foot.

03:30Knee over the ball to make sure

03:31that it stays within the width of the goal.

03:33But that is a fantastic block.

03:36I'll see him at some stage

03:38but let's see what comes from this free kick.

03:40First, it's a good one.

03:41He's perfectly on to the head of Milinkovic Savic

03:44and he's put it wide.

03:47Similar in terms of, I think,

03:48trying to get too much on the ball.

03:51And it's coming across you like that.

03:53All the paces on the ball.

03:54Wonderful delivery from that man, Neves, by the way.

03:57That's got to be glanced back across.

03:59You've just got to try and help it along its way

04:01but you see there gets full contact on that

04:04and completely makes a hash of it.

04:08And that's two golden opportunities for each side

04:11at that end of the pitch now.

04:14My intention, I think, was to return it to him pretty swiftly

04:16but it wasn't precise enough

04:17and Mah is now on the move

04:19as is Darisi.

04:24He did well to reach it

04:25and he's still going here

04:26and has he been able to find the finish as well?

04:28Not quite.

04:29Oh, he's unlucky.

04:31Such a swift, threatening counter-attack

04:34and Abdul Karim Darisi

04:36looked like he was going to finish it off.

04:39Yeah, he did.

04:40He's got a teammate in the middle as well.

04:44I think it's the right decision for Mino there.

04:47I think he's blocked off by Renan Lodi

04:49who tries to angle it in at the near post.

04:53Looks like it actually takes a bit of a touch

04:56off the defender on the way.

04:58It does take a little clip.

05:00Obviously saved by the keeper anyway.

05:03Mahrez.

05:04That's what they've done here.

05:05Yeah, Al Ackley Mahrez slips to the cross goal

05:07and there's the finish.

05:08Beautifully placed into the corner

05:10by Roberto Firmino.

05:13An Al Ackley lead in the Super Cup semi-final.

05:17I mentioned this just before the game.

05:20Not too much to choose between the goalkeepers

05:22in terms of defensively and shot stopping

05:25but I do believe that Vendy's a lot better

05:27playing out from the back.

05:29Wonderful ball out to Riyad Mahrez.

05:32He does really well with his right foot there.

05:35First time, just put it in a dangerous area.

05:38That dangerous area for someone to attack

05:40and this is a wonderful finish.

05:42By Bobby Firmino.

05:43It's bouncing up just before it contacts him.

05:46And he got a glove on it.

05:52Salim Eldorseri will return it.

05:55And there is the equalising goal.

05:58And who else?

06:01Mitrovic makes it 1-1.

06:02You see in the second phase here

06:09he comes out to get the ball

06:11changes his mind

06:13starts to backtrack

06:14he's so on set

06:15and that makes it so much easier

06:19for Mitrovic at that back stick

06:21equally

06:22the defending as well on him

06:25is Paul

06:25see no one with him

06:27really

06:28in the end

06:29it's a good header

06:31and actually

06:33they'll be so disappointed

06:35for all the hard work

06:37they've put in

06:37and

06:37the defending

06:39at the vital moment

06:40is Paul

06:41oh they were so close

06:45it's on by Michael

06:49and he bounced back

06:51towards him

06:52Michael over eager

06:57it's going to be that

07:03Michael Hamid's foul

07:06is the last action

07:07of regulation time

07:09Al Ackley were so close

07:11to a famous victory here

07:13they still may go on

07:15and record it

07:16but they will need to do so

07:17from the penalty spot

07:19because these sides

07:20in the semi-final

07:21of the Super Cup

07:22cannot be separated

07:24Al Halal

07:26rescuing things

07:27with that 90th minute

07:29equaliser

07:29from Alexander Mitrovic

07:31after a fine finish

07:32from Firmino

07:33had finished off

07:34a wonderful opening goal

07:35for Al Ackley

07:36it looked like

07:37it might be enough

07:38it hasn't quite been yet

07:39full time in Abba

07:40Al Halal won

07:41Al Ackley won

07:43and assumed the

07:44responsibility again

07:46the first penalty

07:46in the shootout

07:48and it's a good penalty

07:53it needed to be

07:54because Mendy went

07:56the right way

07:57but Ruben Neves

07:57kept his composure

07:59yeah he didn't falter

08:00did he

08:00that little stutter

08:01run up

08:01is waiting

08:02to see which way

08:03Mendy goes

08:04they'll score it

08:06in the game already

08:07Roberto Firmino

08:08does level it up

08:11without a little bit

08:13of fortune

08:13maybe this time

08:15just waiting

08:18for the goalkeeper

08:20to move

08:21and Bono

08:21be very disappointed

08:22with that

08:22the goalkeepers

08:23always are

08:24when it goes

08:24under them

08:24like that

08:25take their turn

08:28again

08:28another good penalty

08:30from Salim

08:31Eldorsuri

08:32at the same place

08:35really as Ruben

08:36Neves

08:36same outcome

08:36and it's saved

08:42by Bono

08:43read his intentions

08:45gets right by

08:47going right

08:47and makes the stop

08:48and it's the first

08:50twist in the shootout

08:51yeah it's a good save

08:53what I will say

08:54about this penalty

08:55it's a good height

08:56for the goalkeeper

08:57you see there

08:58it's mid goal

08:59and that's what you

09:00always want to avoid

09:01and even need to go

09:02Alexander Mitrovic

09:03forced this shootout

09:04in the first place

09:05with his equalising goal

09:06and he scores

09:07in the shootout

09:08down the middle

09:08and George Asus' side

09:11getting closer

09:12nerves of steel

09:14to go down the middle

09:16it's always a risk

09:17I think

09:18but

09:18clear in his convictions

09:20Mitrovic

09:21and he's missed it

09:28balloons it over the bar

09:30this is the Brazilian
