00:00Welcome everybody watching with us all around the world a big Saturday night
00:08showdown from the capital as the Rawson Saudi Pro League continues on a match day
00:13three we're all set for Al-Riyadh to test themselves against the reigning
00:18champions Al-Hilal and from what we have seen so far Al-Hilal have every
00:23intention of remaining the top team in the land
00:30so here we go can Al-Riyadh get about Al-Hilal
00:40first attempt oh it's a great save by Borjan what a way for him to start as Salam Al-Dosari
00:53cut inside and let go it was nearly a wonder goal that it's brilliant from Al-Dosari it looked
00:58like a bit of Neymar the way he was dribbling there he cuts inside the
01:01captain and he's unlucky it's a really good shot but it's a very good save
01:07found space easy to come by again and that's drill right over the top by
01:11Marcos Leonardo it's a good strike from Leonardo he'd be disappointed he's not
01:15tested for John in the coke
01:18on the side here Borjan watched it right onto his gloves very carefully indeed
01:25save you should be expected to make but he had to make it yeah it's a good save
01:31from Borjan dainty threw a cut was great play from him but it's smashed over the top
01:37that's a chance really for Milinkovic Savic
01:40locked down by Soleimani with a Neves for Al-Hilal that's a terrific pass but again great recovery
01:50Al-Khabari was very alert Al-Khabari is brilliant defending the pass from Neves look at this this is
01:55an outstanding pass and he should deliver Leonardo there maybe can he think it to
02:00the back post and Mitrovic coming on but Al-Khabari really good defending wide not
02:07by much another golden opportunity they've been a threat from set pieces and when
02:13the ball comes in good ball from Cancelo is Milinkovic Savic they've given the ball
02:18away and they might pay for it Aldo Sadi Milinkovic Savic rolls it across and Mitrovic cannot finish it
02:25he's right there on the penalty spot and I think just because he's the talisman Mitrovic they're
02:30trying to get him the goal but I think it's wrong decision for Milinkovic Savic then
02:36shot Cancelo
02:39getting rather bounced off Leonardo but Cancelo did his best to keep it going and
02:43persistence paid off he's won a free kick
02:45Al-Khabari like the fullbacks to get forward he loves getting fullback better going forward than he is defending
02:53Fahad Riyad so far so good very much in the spotlight tonight now Cancelo down the outside
03:01Borja rises to the occasion again well twice over the second one was flashy the first one he had to
03:07be on his toes and he kept the ball out of his net and it's the first quality I've seen from
03:11Yao Cancelo here he thinks it he doesn't clip it he thinks it and you know he's attacking it
03:16Milinkovic Savic a good save from Borja
03:22now he seeks to deliver so close to the opener and I thought it was in look at it it's a fantastic
03:28strike and you're right Bono is beaten for me he will be beaten there's a gap in that oh he's so
03:33unlucky it's just because it was bending a bit but what what a great strike
03:38Borja gets down but he can't quite keep it out this time the electrifying burst opened the way
03:44and the skipper comes in from the other side Aldarsari and finishes off the job Al-Hilal who survived a
03:51mighty scare at the other end have gone in front yeah Aldarsari he's all about the captain he's so
03:57sharp once he gets on that ball then poke there's only one outcome because he's quick he wants to
04:01go and commit defenders and the finish is outstanding you can see it here good little run and he goes
04:07past the fullback like he's not there the finish is fantastic the little thing over Borja is world
04:12class in my eyes because look he's not got it's an unbelievable finish what a goal that is and people
04:19will think oh it's an easy finish no because he's the only thing he can do is lift it over Borja expertly
04:24in off the post what a goal
04:30now Borja is in danger of being beaten here he is beaten Leonardo elegantly done but will the goal
04:37stand Leonardo runs away to celebrate another little dink over the goalkeeper worked nicely
04:43yeah it will be checked i think it may be the fullback on the far side may be playing Leonardo on
04:48it's a great little ball from Malcolm which could be his last kick of the game because he's cramping and
04:52once Leonardo gets into that position fantastic finish unless we missed something he didn't look
04:58offside there unless we've missed something in the build-up
05:04he is offside so we were right the first time
05:08the goal is chalked off
05:09he's pushing right up and they spread eagles and they're beaten
05:16ciao cancello on his debut i think he's offside again this time he did look offside
05:22ciao cancello i just you know it's the rule it is the rule and i understand you have to wait but
05:27he's looking he's well offside so you can see that so you can put the flag up early it's not even close
05:33like the Leonardo one
05:40Mitrovic another little dink over the goalkeeper that was delicious that was unstoppable that was the
05:48difference maker Mitrovic what did we tempo what we say earlier on what did i say you and you said it as
05:56well you said it good football no you said i said he's been quiet but i said he only needs a chance and
06:02once you give him a chance he'll take it it's out this area again the captain he's probably been the
06:06outstanding player for them going forward in the second half he does ever so well and the timing of
06:10the pass to Mitrovic is brilliant because he has but once he gets into it this is a brilliant finish
06:16i listen i know it takes a little deflection of the defender but it was going in so it's Mitrovic's goal
06:21it's a it's a clever clever flick
06:29from the club's point of view on that as well another element sometimes is
06:33he may not be a starter but we're definitely not letting him go to one of our rivals oh hell no no
06:38that's a no no and he's making it happen in that penalty box again
06:45probably Borjan would have got that but the defenders certainly are not switching off that's
06:49very brave indeed again from Asiri yeah it is it is brave from Asiri really brave it's Kanu again
06:58and then it's good save and then it comes to with another block and then this is a great block
07:03his bats turning you're not if you're not going to get that that's for sure
07:09oh that's very nice indeed
07:10Mitrovic oh while he's on the field he's a threat while he's on the field Al-Hilal always
07:20believe they're going to score and they've done it again way beyond the end of the allotted nine minutes
07:27cruel indeed on Al-Riyad Al-Dusari again down that left that great little cut back and the finish from
07:32Mitrovic is outstanding i think he puts it in with his fire or his knee
07:36it's a brilliant finish it's so good because it's at a difficult height but that's what that's
07:42Mitrovic for you and that is the sign of a top striker quiet in the game scores two really good goals
07:52because now the referee blows the whistle played way over time so they won't be happy with that
07:56cannot be happy with the outcome in any way our hosts here in the west
08:01of the city this derby has been won by Al-Hilal the reigning champions but don't be fooled anybody
08:09who didn't see all of this by that final scoreline because it was hard work and George Jesus knows it
08:16doesn't even look that happy even now but his team did rouse themselves in that second half
08:22to see off a very determined Al-Riyad tonight Al-Riyad nil Al-Hilal three
