Transcript
00:00Dominguez flag is raised
00:10When when you're looking at two different systems that are playing against each other you look at Pachuca playing with a
00:143-4-3 what you then have to do just as you see the offside again
00:18This is the correct decision
00:20You have the left-back Lodi and sort of left winger in that 4-2-3-1
00:23Salem and then on the right hand side Cancelo and Malcolm they've got to double up
00:27They can get 2v1 against the two wing-backs of Pachuca and Sanchez and Aceves
00:41Oh Halal looking to build through Cancelo
00:44Jao Cancelo
00:46Didn't find the pass through the legs of the defender
00:49Aceves has a bit of space
00:51Aceves kicks his head up plays it square a long shot from distance flashes wide at the post
00:59Aceves just drives inside and then the ball goes to Dominguez good strike
01:05Malcolm's been busy on this right-hand side. He waits for Cancelo inside himself Leonardo pops it back to Malcolm
01:13Just underneath it
01:15Bowerman
01:18Bowerman was looking for Kennedy couldn't get there. He's popped forward to Salem. Salem lets it drift
01:25and it's in
01:31Salem Aldoussari with Al-Hilal's first goal they lead Pachuca
01:37Now talk about being cool and calm it's exactly what they are but it's really good play initiative from Koulibaly and they've committed men forward
01:58The ball in is lovely and then it's all about the first touch for Salah
02:01And then the second one is absolutely exquisite because he has to get it just right because the goalkeeper Gerardo comes out
02:08And he gets it absolutely perfect
02:10He gives Al-Hilal the lead, but he started from the defensive side of things with Koulibaly and then it finished
02:16with Salah
02:23Salem swings it in and a header over the crossbar Leonardo
02:27It's a brilliant ball in you just see
02:32Leonardo
02:33He gets in front of I think it's Montiel
02:37There's a ball chip looking for Rondon Bono on the volley clears it away
02:42Would have been offside but Bono still sharp to react when you've got a goalkeeper like Bono
02:47Who's prepared to sort of be that sweeper keeper
02:49But he swung in it's hung high to the back post headed down
03:01Kennedy couldn't find anyone else
03:07Will be kept alive though through sanchez
03:11Sanchez inside now sanchez solo run forward tried around the defender koulibaly does enough
03:17That's a great ball
03:21It's lody to leonardo leonardo sandwiched by two play allowed to continue
03:26calavicino
03:29As sanchez
03:31top of the box for montiel
03:33calavicino
03:34Bono big save
03:36Grabs the rebound ahead of rondon
03:39It's great if the ball could have been found to him earlier on and then the ball goes in
03:42It's a good save from bonner and then he just gets up really quick
03:45Can't put anything away but the momentum's just shifted a little bit these last few minutes
03:54We are getting an update from the real madrid
03:58FC salzburg game real madrid have taken the lead
04:02this is junior with the goal and that's great news for al-halal
04:05a winner in that match and a victory for al-halal guarantees them a pathway in to the last 16
04:23Things are definitely heating up as expected between two very competitive sides
04:29And bono with a fantastic save here
04:34Yeah, it's it's the initial save bounces just in front of him but then how quickly he's able to get up
04:40And rondon will be penalized for the foul
04:44Alton bakhti down on the ground holding his head
04:49Feels like it might well be their night as salem with a fantastic move forward goes to ground
04:55And that'll do it for the first half of action
