00:00Match Week 15 in the Roshan Saudi League concludes at King Abdullah Sports City where
00:10Al Nasser look to maintain their top three challenge against Al Town who stunned Al
00:16Katzia 3-0 after losing at home to the same opponents in the Kings Cup by the
00:21same score they are inconsistent but can be brilliant so Ronaldo and Sane will
00:27need to maintain their rapid start to 2025
00:38Al Town get the match underway wearing all yellow and Al Nasser know that every
00:47game is must win now to try and ensure they finish in the top three and whatever
00:52happens in this season's Asian Champions League they will be back in that
00:57competition during the following campaign
01:02Mane, Otavio, the cross in is beyond Ronaldo but the volley was sharp at the far
01:11pose from Al Garib and it's gathered by Melsen
01:13there's a good move got to add to the right-hand side and he found a little bit
01:17of space Al Garib but the strike wasn't clean scuffed the effort probably should
01:22have moved his feet a bit quicker
01:25Al Jumaya, now Simakan, Brozovic, Ronaldo, he lets fly but it's a comfortable save for Melsen
01:38yeah I think Ronaldo thought even on his left foot from that distance he could finish it I thought it
01:44was slightly ambitious to be honest on his left side from about 30 odd yards shows you how confident he is
01:48confident he is though taking the shot on 11 in 13 so far this season in the Roshan Saudi
01:54League
01:58Al Jumaya always taking that down well and he's around the back needs a good cross
02:03and it's volleyed in and all the way in an Al Town score on the stroke of half-time
02:10and that is a brilliant goal Al Nasser scores against Al Nasser and it might be
02:17deserved first 20 minutes it was backs against the wall from Al Town but they've
02:22grown into the game they've realized that they can try and get bodies forward with
02:26quality that's a great long ball a super touch now it's about the final ball in
02:29the delivery on the set from left wing back has played really well he's been up
02:36and down that side for fun but that's a hard finish
02:41Rozovic Al Ghanam Mane's header and Melsa makes a fine save that's a great save might even have struck the post was better early cross
03:00Sadio Mane gets the flight of it good power but a really good save that from the keeper down low
03:06Angelo with the crossing that's a good delivery and there is the equalizing goal
03:19Emmerich Laporte to the rescue for Al Nasser well all about the delivery it's what's been lacking for
03:25Pioli's men tonight first time in the game 63 minutes in they provide quality and this came from the youngster
03:32Angelo what a ball in all the blue shirts are up there Ronaldo Simicant they're all in there but Laporte's the player that finds a bit of freedom
03:40gorgeous delivery though
03:44Emmerich Laporte with his third Roshan Saudi league goal of the season they've all come away from home
03:51and that one was much needed for Pioli's team
03:56there appears to be a check going on here
04:04I think they're checking because Ronaldo was quite close to the goalkeeper so they might be checking whether Ronaldo impeded the keeper or not
04:10I think it was one of those where irrespective of where Ronaldo was
04:21Nelson wasn't getting that header no he wasn't I think they just had to double check whether he was impeding the goalkeeper
04:27and he was standing in an offside position or not
04:28Simicant
04:31high towards Mane
04:33Maron Ronaldo set for the right foot shot hits it with the left and it's beaten away by Melson
04:43good save good skill that from Ronaldo
04:45everyone thought in the stadium that he's going to take the shot with his right foot but just checked back here onto his left and still had that yard of pace to get the shot off
04:52Angelo
04:56and he delivers the crossing and it's flicked on by Ronaldo and the shot is then cleared off the line and in the end the final effort from Mane is wide
05:07everything good from Al Nasser's point of view is coming down the right hand side of Angelo he's full of tricks
05:12gets to the byline Ronaldo's trying a little Croy flick
05:16comes from it the second time but he can't squeeze it through a lot of traffic
05:20it was Rivas with the clearance right in front of the goalkeeper
05:35and they have it
05:37it is finished 1-1
05:39Al Nasser dropping points in the race for the Asian Champions League
05:44Al Town led for a long spell thanks to Saeed Al Nasser
05:50Emric Laporte with the equaliser
05:53but the look of disappointment on his face
05:56tells the story
05:57it has been a very good weekend
06:00for Al Qadziah
06:02full-time
06:03Al Town won
