00:00Derby week continues in the Roshan Saudi League and after the passion, colour and excitement of
00:12the sea derby in Jeddah, we move inland to Riyadh and the capital derby between Al Nasser and Al
00:20Halal. This promises to be a classic encounter as two of Saudi Arabia's most decorated clubs meet
00:28with teams packed with marquee names. Goals seem guaranteed. Al Nasser in yellow,
00:40at us underway and Talisker immediately looks forward. Early foul by Ottavio, free kick for Al
00:49Halal. They scored very early on in that one, did Al Nasser in the first minute, Ottavio who
00:58plays it into Talisker. Early chance, early goal, liftoff in the derby.
01:04Off the stadium for the home support and you can see what it means to Talisker, keeps himself onside.
01:09Ottavio, great first-time ball, fantastic first touch by Talisker. It's that first touch with his left foot,
01:16takes it around the defender, nothing the goalkeeper can do. It's a brilliant finish into the empty bottom right-hand corner.
01:22What a start for Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nasser.
01:30Malcolm is away here for Al Halal, Mitrovic in the middle.
01:34Fine save by Bento and Simakhan can prod it away. His perception, depth perception to his lines, really good.
01:40Stands up, makes himself big, makes a save with a strong right hand.
01:50Al Ghanam is there, oh, inviting across the face of goal. Talisker wanted better than that and they may yet get it.
01:56Blasted by Ronaldo.
01:57And they'll have to settle for a corner. But he was fuming there, Talisker.
02:03There's no Al Nasser player there that can take control.
02:06Tap it into what would have been an empty net, great opportunity.
02:15Al Bulahi is back there, this is Ottavio.
02:17He felt he was fouled by Milinkovic Savic. So did our German referee.
02:21Milinkovic just pleading his case to the referee as he tries to get his body in between.
02:26Just puts his left arm across Ottavio's shoulder, brings him down.
02:30He does catch him. The referee's on the spot, makes the right decision.
02:36Clipped in for Simakhan.
02:38Brilliant delivery by Cristiano Ronaldo. What we would expect.
02:40The header's just behind him. He just can't get enough purchase on it to hit the target.
02:44But again, another opportunity for Al Nasser.
02:47Now, Malcolm has a bit of space here for Al Hilal.
02:53He has support from Al Darsari, who goes for Akala.
02:56And that was not a million miles away.
02:58How many times have we seen that from Al Darsari?
03:01Gets the ball out of his feet, onto his favoured right foot.
03:04Sends a whipping, dipping.
03:06Shot just wide and over.
03:10Mentos crossbar.
03:14Al Gana.
03:17Ronaldo off balance.
03:20And up goes the flag.
03:21Al Gana it was.
03:22Off the throw in one-two.
03:24He's looking across the line.
03:25He shouldn't be offside.
03:26But he does really well.
03:27Even though he's offside.
03:28Flights the ball in over Cristiano Ronaldo's head.
03:31But Al Gana, one-two off the throw.
03:32And he's looking all the way down the line.
03:34He shouldn't be offside in that position.
03:35Asking too much of Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:37But it wouldn't have counted.
03:40Al Qatani.
03:44Al Darsari popping up on the right-hand side for Al Hilal.
03:48Which almost surprised the hosts.
03:51They've got it away for a throw.
03:53Well in terms of conditions in the city of Riyadh tonight.
03:57It's a comparatively cool evening.
03:59It is.
04:00If you are going to try and maintain a high-octane approach.
04:03Like that with which Al Nasser started.
04:05It's a night where you could possibly do that.
04:07Comes well Bento.
04:08Decent distance.
04:09But set back in there.
04:10Mitrovic.
04:11Off goes the flag.
04:12A swift.
04:13And what looked from where we are.
04:14A correct decision.
04:15To deny an equalising goal.
04:16Assistant referee's flag goes up immediately.
04:17As this ball is returned into the box.
04:18It's the flick on there from Koulibaly.
04:19Mitrovic.
04:20A right shoulder.
04:21And half a body offside.
04:22Gets the wrong side of Simikan.
04:23Does what he does best.
04:24There was no doubt in what was going to happen.
04:25He was going to finish it.
04:26But he did just find himself offside.
04:27He's going to finish it.
04:28But he did find himself offside.
04:29He's going to finish it.
04:30He's going to finish it.
04:31He's going to finish it.
04:32What he does best.
04:33There was no doubt in what was going to happen.
04:34He was going to finish it.
04:35But he did just find himself offside.
04:39Well won back by Ottavio.
04:41Into Talisca.
04:42He may be offside.
04:43But he might just finish anyway.
04:44Which he does.
04:45And up goes the flag.
04:47No one stole him.
04:49I think he's getting the message now though.
04:51He's asking the crowd behind the goal.
04:52What's going on?
04:53He looks our first instinct was initially offside.
04:55But again it's the turnover possession.
04:57The quickness that Al Nasser win the ball back.
04:59He is offside.
05:00Clearly offside.
05:01Decent ball again by Ottavio.
05:04In behind.
05:05Talisca does well to hold off Koulibaly.
05:07But then off he goes for his celebration.
05:09With nobody else unfortunately.
05:10It's a good celebration.
05:11It's a good celebration.
05:12And it's a good finish.
05:17Couls also managed their cross city rivals in Terso.
05:20Tasted plenty of derbies in the mighty South Zero.
05:24Northern Italy.
05:26Here in the Saudi Arabian capital.
05:28Al Nasser seeking a second.
05:29It's Brozovic.
05:30Talisca.
05:32The flag will go up.
05:33He looked well off.
05:34And indeed.
05:35He has proven to be so.
05:37If he is offside.
05:38That's the second goal he's had ruled out tonight.
05:40For being offside Talisca.
05:41Good play again by Al Nasser.
05:42Good build up play.
05:43It's the ball in here.
05:44To Talisca.
05:45It's headed out.
05:46And it's here.
05:47But Brozovic gets his shot away.
05:48Two goals chalked off tonight for Talisca already.
05:50And in that situation you'd expect Ronaldo to find Talisca.
05:54That's a ball that he should find him with acres of space in the middle of the goal mouth Talisca.
05:59All Ronaldo had to do was cross.
06:01Lodi snaps onto it.
06:03Aldo Zoe back off the post.
06:06Over Bento and wide.
06:08Well that is as close as the champions have come.
06:12And now the corner that results from it.
06:18Not away.
06:19Improvised and over.
06:22Cano very nearly with a spectacular.
06:24Out of the Haaland playbook.
06:28Well he was a busy boy wasn't he?
06:30Was absolutely.
06:31That's the shot by Aldoussari.
06:33Bento beaten.
06:34All ends up.
06:35It's the rebound.
06:36He manages to get up.
06:37Stretch.
06:38Tip it around the post.
06:39Save what looked like a certain goal.
06:41Second goal.
06:42Aldoussari.
06:43How many times?
06:44Brilliant.
06:45Such fantastic technique.
06:46Goalkeeper no chance.
06:47A rebound.
06:48The ball bobbles into the floor.
06:49Goalkeeper shows great agility.
06:50Gets up.
06:51Touches it around the post.
06:52First time by Aldoussari.
06:54Such a good technique.
06:58Now Otavio.
07:00Mane giving chase.
07:02Cano.
07:03Went in with the challenge.
07:04Goal kick given.
07:06As Cano outstretched his legs.
07:08Let's have another look at this one ball.
07:09They'll be checking it.
07:10Sadio Mane does get there first.
07:12Tries to get across.
07:13Cano there.
07:14We've seen questionable penalties given on this ground, haven't we?
07:18But we're not that time.
07:19They are quickly to a decision.
07:21Well, it's encouraged Sal Nasser.
07:22It's Ronaldo.
07:23He gave that the beans.
07:24And then some.
07:25But it was too close to Bono.
07:30Good strike by Cristiano Ronaldo.
07:31Only one thing on his mind.
07:33Gets the ball out of his feet.
07:34It's a good hit.
07:35Just too close to the goalkeeper.
07:36He's frustrated.
07:37What is it now?
07:38Four games without a goal for Cristiano Ronaldo.
07:42Here's Malcom.
07:43Aldoussari.
07:44A flick for Lodi.
07:45Hung up invitingly.
07:46Malinkovic Savic.
07:47Malinkovic Savic to the rescue for El Hilal.
08:00It doesn't matter who it is.
08:03It doesn't matter when it is.
08:06They find a way.
08:08They just always find a way.
08:111-1.
08:13His red hot scoring form continues.
08:173-3 now for the big serve in all competitions.
08:20He did it in that win against Al Ain.
08:23He did it last week in the win against Al Tawun.
08:25And he's done it this evening in the derby.
08:28And the Riyadh derby.
08:33The capital derby comes to a close.
08:36It's ebbed.
08:37It's flowed.
08:38It's swung one way and it's swung another.
08:40And we end up with honours even.
08:43We end up for the first time this season.
08:46Georges Jesus' side denied a victory.
08:49They had to come from behind as they have done so often.
08:53After Taliska's early goal.
08:55They had to wait.
08:58They had to wait after Al Dossawi had rocked the frame of the goal.
09:02It was Milinkovic Savic who came to the rescue.
09:05His third goal in three games.
09:07So they go a point clear at the top.
09:09Al Hilal.
09:10They remain unbeaten.
09:11But so too do Al Nasser who remain in touching distance.
09:15Six points behind.
09:16Final score at Al Awal Park.
09:19Al Nasser one.
09:20Al Hilal one.
