00:00It's the first heavyweight meeting of the season in the Roshan Saudi League as Jeddah's Al-Aqli
00:10have traveled to Riyadh to meet Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nasser. Al Awal Park will be packed and
00:17passionate for a meeting between two of Saudi Arabia's Champions League representatives. The
00:23home fans are here to pay homage to their number seven but Al-Aqli will not lack support either.
00:28Al Nasser's main man scored his 900th career goal during the international break but Al-Aqli have
00:35another top-class striker to introduce to this competition as Ivan Toni makes his debut in a
00:41match which seems to have a guarantee of goals just like last season. Another honor for 900 career
00:49goals which was achieved during the international break for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League match.
00:58It's the 50th meeting between two story clubs in the Roshan Saudi League, Al Nasser and Al-Aqli.
01:07And it's the team from Jeddah wearing all green defending the goal away to our left in the first half.
01:15There's an opportunity now for Al Nasser to try and feed Ronaldo and the header comes in from Mane and
01:24Mendy was beaten there and in the end he was bailed out by Ibanez with that goal saving clearance off the line.
01:30Almost caught him off guard really, he shouldn't have done. Here was that Ronaldo thought he was getting there as Rashi was
01:37in the way and actually Mendy needs to do better there. It's quite a simple catch and sort of flapped it away.
01:44Now an opportunity for Al-Majrashi, a good break into the area but he was slightly off balance and as a result
01:53Bento was able to make a comfortable save.
01:55Oh, what a poor touch, that first touch from Masrashi.
02:00Al Nasser is forward and he's got the pace to go beyond Mahrez.
02:04Now Brozovic, the shot was blocked, Brozovic again beaten away by Mendy.
02:09It's still loose on the edge of the penalty area, Al Nasser.
02:13Taliska rather had the ball taken away from him there as he was looking to execute the shot.
02:18Ronaldo finding Mane, Mane back towards Ronaldo and Ibanez did just enough and that was another crucial
02:31intervention from the Brazilian. Now I'm not sure Ronaldo knew that Ibanez was there.
02:36Albracan, Tony Waits in the centre but cut back towards Kessie and the shot from Firmino!
02:42And Bento was superb there. Oh, he really was because I think Firmino really disguises this.
02:51He has to get right across and use that right hand to stretch across because that's going right
02:58in the top corner. Marashi with the cross, Kessie and Kessie's effort is just wide.
03:05Well, the interplay again, it's what Firmino is famed for. Beautiful little nutmegs on Mane,
03:16and then the interplay between him and Kessie, brilliant. Kessie just looking to strike early.
03:23Now the space for Firmino, Tony Waits in the centre, back to Albracan.
03:28First touch was a bit heavy, but he's got support, Kessie!
03:39Brilliant from Frank Kessie.
03:43And a likely strike first, but we've been waiting for the quality.
03:47And this is special. The way he just side-foots this with the power and the accuracy into the top
03:59left-hand corner. Now Mane. He's done well to win that, whips in the cross.
04:05It'll come all the way to Algonam, and then Taliska diverts it wide. A couple of yards in front of goal.
04:16Oh, it's a big miss. The cross in is helped on by Lajami. And here is Brozovic trying to play that
04:24reverse ball, but Brozovic goes for goal himself. And it's turned aside by Mende.
04:29Really good saves. I think he sees it late through the defenders. Got down well to his left-hand side.
04:37Brozovic kept it low. It skips off the surface. Now Algonap. He's done well. Delivers the cross.
04:44Ronaldo! Unable to divert the ball into the area where it mattered most.
04:50Oh, well, it was a teasing cross. He almost does brilliantly. Ronaldo,
04:54just to flick it with the outside of his foot. On the volley, stretching into the back of the net.
05:01Just couldn't quite get the angle. You can hear the whistles from the Al-Akli supporters,
05:07but they're still time for Algonam. And it's his cross, Taliska!
05:13A succession of opportunities, and he's missed them all. Well, Algonam does amazingly well
05:19to dig that cross out. And Taliska, I don't know whether he just mistimes the jump because he's
05:25completely unmarked. Another headed chance for him. Maybe one final cross. Gary Bronaldo,
05:32here is Algonam! Al Nasser has saved in the 99th minute.
05:47But in the circumstances, they would take a goal from anyone.
05:53Well, if anyone's deserved it, it's Algonam, but it takes a wicked deflection. It really does.
05:58Which takes it past Mendy. Algonam's trying to get this across for Taliska or Mane.
06:06And the tiniest touch takes it past Mendy. And it's a huge stroke of luck for that man,
06:14Luis Castro.
06:15It's over now. And Al Nasser have prized a point right at the very end. Al-Akli are furious at the end.
06:29They believe they've done enough to win. It's a yellow card for Frank Kessie after the full-time
06:35whistle. Relief for Luis Castro and for Al Nasser. It is finished. Al Nasser won. Al-Akli won.
