SportsTranscript
00:00Two changes for Al-Aklik, Sayu Barabaii coming into the back four and Ali Al-Ashmari into midfield.
00:14Frank Kesik and Salim Aldasawi the two captains.
00:20So no Marcus Leonardo in the Al-Halal starting line-up.
00:24Yasser Al-Sharani coming back into the team at right back.
00:28So Shao Kinsella move further forward and Malcolm playing behind Aleksandra Mitrovic.
00:38And as the smoke begins to clear, one of the games of the season is underway.
00:44Al-Aklik in green, Al-Halal in blue.
00:48Al-Aklik need to get him on the ball in the areas where he can really do damage further forward.
00:54Now Kesik.
01:00Al-Ashmari does well, and now Gabi Vega does make the run in behind.
01:04Looks to go beyond Bono!
01:06And scores the opening goal brilliantly!
01:10Al-Aklik.
01:20Al-Aklik swelled in high looking for Mitrovic, and it's cleared off the line in the end.
01:26It was Milinkovic-Savic coming in behind who almost delivered the equalising goal.
01:32Some effort, you know, on the stretch.
01:34Very, very unlucky there, Milinkovic-Savic.
01:36Desperate defender from Al-Aklik.
01:40This is the big chance at the away side.
01:42Really unlucky there, Milinkovic-Savic.
01:44Al-Aklik just standing on the ball, needs to avoid that.
01:51Taken quickly by Neves anyway.
01:53Al-Sharani.
01:54Chalk and Salo.
01:56And the volley towards goal from Aldo Sarwez.
01:58Off the post, Mitrovic!
02:00And he is penalised for the challenge on Marashi,
02:02but once again Al-Halal desperately close.
02:06Brave defending.
02:07This is a save down to his left-hand side, just palms it onto the post.
02:12And as it rebounds, you might just see on the left-hand side,
02:15Mitrovic comes in to finish it off.
02:19Chalk and Salo.
02:20Milinkovic-Savic.
02:23Now Chalk and Salo.
02:26Al-Brakant looking to support his full-back,
02:28but they've worked the opening here, Mitrovic!
02:36And it's no surprise the equalising goal comes from Alexander Mitrovic.
02:42Children by the cheer inside the stadium.
02:44I think it might be disallowed.
02:45The referee might be saying Cancelo was offside.
02:50And Mitrovic's ninth league goal of the season
02:53has been chalked off.
02:56When he sees this again at half-time,
02:58because Cancelo's looking right across the line there.
03:01He should never, ever, ever be offside.
03:03Stay onside, you get yourself a goal.
03:06Here's another former West London resident,
03:12Fulham's Alexander Mitrovic.
03:15Now Malcolm.
03:18Lodi.
03:19Time to deliver the cross, Mitrovic!
03:28He always comes up with a goal on the big occasion.
03:31Pinned, Al-Akli back.
03:34They've just not got out of their half in the second half,
03:36but this is a great ball in.
03:37Loads of blue shirts in the box.
03:39And that's where Mitrovic is strong.
03:41Runs off the back of Demiral.
03:43Gets the flight of the ball.
03:45Goes for the correct technique, just nodding it into the corner.
03:48No need to add any power.
03:50What a game we've got on now.
03:54Demiral's nowhere near him.
03:56The champions have exerted a firm grip.
04:02And here is Malcolm.
04:04In behind Hamed.
04:05The early cross in, Mitrovic was challenging for it.
04:08Aldousawi, Milinkovic, Savic is blocked inside the area.
04:11It still knows what to say by El Sambi to keep out Aldousawi.
04:15Now Malcolm.
04:17Back to Neves.
04:18Albrecan with the challenge.
04:21Bono will eventually clear.
04:24Yeah, I think that might be the change, Gabi Vega.
04:26Great flick on by Milinkovic, Savic.
04:29And here is Malcolm, so much room.
04:312-8 in the centre, but Malcolm goes for it.
04:33Al-Sambi with the block.
04:35Salim Aldousawi.
04:37And Aldousawi goes for it.
04:39Al-Murashi will save.
04:41And then the shot fired in by Cancelo.
04:44Milinkovic, Savic high again towards the far post.
04:47Guided away by Demiral.
04:49So this will be very interesting, what the referee gives here.
04:51Well, he's going to the screen.
04:53Slavko-Vincic.
04:57The image you can see there.
05:02As Katazovic is the VAR official.
05:07And that's the challenge.
05:10Yeah, you have to say whatever decision he makes here, the referee,
05:14you have to trust him.
05:18Well, he's had the look.
05:20He's heading back out.
05:23Penalty.
05:25Mitrovic against Al-Sambi.
05:28Right in front of his fans.
05:30And Mitrovic sees it saved!
05:34Al-Sambi the hero for Ajakli.
05:37And Mitrovic has missed!
05:40Well, have they ordered a retake here?
05:46Milinkovic, Savic is saying to him, you're off your line.
05:48That's it here.
05:49Off.
05:50Off his line.
05:51This will be retaken.
05:52More drama.
05:53Does Mitrovic take it again?
05:55Mitrovic again.
05:56Same place.
05:57And this time he scores!
05:58And Al-Halal look to remain invincible.
05:59They are relentless when they go forward.
06:01They've created so many chances, especially in the second half.
06:02Their approach has been first class.
06:03They've took the game to Al-Akli.

06:21Going inside.
06:22Goes for a curler.
06:23Not too far away.
06:24Oh, that was close.
06:25I can see Firmino's intentions there.
06:26They're relentless when they go forward.

06:35Not too far away.
06:36Oh, that was close.
06:37Firmino's intentions there.
06:38Dropping inside.
06:39On his right foot.
06:40Trying to find the top corner.
06:41And only half a yard away.
06:42Oh, that was close.
06:47I can see Firmino's intentions there.
06:49Dropping inside on his right foot.
06:50Trying to find the top corner.
06:53And only half a yard away.
06:55Chalcan Saylor.
06:59Malcom.
07:00Chalcan Saylor in behind again.
07:03Beyond Derisi.
07:04His shot cleared off the line.
07:06Demaral keeping Al-Akli alive there.
07:11Oh, brilliant football all round.
07:12Brilliant from Chalcan Saylor on the overlap.
07:14Just cutting inside onto his left.
07:16He was trying to squeeze the shot in.
07:18At the near post.
07:19But Demaral read it.
07:20And he just cleared it off the line.
07:24Al Rashidi.
07:26The cross deflected as far as.
07:27Morez!
07:28Wide!
07:30Chance.
07:31For the initial chance.
07:32Someone should have took the gamble
07:34and ran across the six-yard box.
07:36They would have got a tap in.
07:37And once it fell to Riyad Mahrez.
07:39Especially on his left foot.
07:40He takes a brilliant first touch.
07:42Now can he find that corner?
07:43Oh, so close.
07:45No one has been able to stop them so far.
07:52In the Russian Saudi League this season.
07:54And that's still the case.
07:57It's victory once again for Al-Halal against Al-Akli.
08:02Full-time.
08:03Al-Akli one.
08:04Al-Halal two.
08:05Al-Halal two.
