00:00Hello and welcome to the Elinma Stadium, Al-Akhli against Al-Qadassia.
00:10A massive match in the race for a top three finish and AFC Champions League football.
00:19And Al-Qadassia get us underway in Jeddah against Al-Akhli.
00:23Fifth against third.
00:25And immediately visitors with an early ball forward up to one of their stars striking two.
00:34How about that for a bit of intent in the opening ten seconds.
00:41Given away to Galeno, that could spell problems.
00:44Al-Akhli might be in here and the referee points to the spot.
00:48Their first meaningful attack and they have a penalty.
00:52Al-Qadassia cannot believe it.
00:56It's the first major moment tonight.
00:59Well, it comes from a mistake, doesn't it?
01:01Al-Qadassia, they'll be so disappointed.
01:03Poor playing out from the back.
01:04And it is a penalty.
01:06In this huge game at the top of the RSL.
01:13Ivan Toni sets himself.
01:17Stares down the goalkeeper.
01:20And sweetly strikes Al-Akhli into the lead.
01:24His red hot run of form continues in the RSL.
01:2812 for the season for Ivan Toni.
01:31And now nine in his last 11 here.
01:38Kept the ball.
01:40Galeno on the move here.
01:42He wins his header.
01:44And he forces a corner.
01:45Jihad puts it behind.
01:46One more pushing and shoving right in front of the goalkeeper.
01:52Vega delivers.
01:53Oh, it's almost gone in.
01:55It has.
01:57Thumped home.
01:59And a second goal for Al-Akhli.
02:02It's turning into the perfect night now.
02:05To be honest, he's not going to score an easier goal this season.
02:08But it's about having different players arriving at the right time for Al-Akhli in different waves.
02:14So when that ball goes across, it doesn't miss everyone.
02:17It's a well-worked set piece.
02:19What a moment for the 20-year-old.
02:21His first goal.
02:23Only Al-Nasser better.
02:25So it's going to take a big effort to turn this one round.
02:29Al-Akhli are in the mood as they look to close the gap on.
02:34Their opponents in the race for a top three finish.
02:39Not quite on that attack.
02:40Nandez snuffed it out, but they've given the ball away again.
02:44And here is Kessie, the captain.
02:47Kessie hits it.
02:48Castilles makes the save, but it's still in.
02:51Castilles again.
02:53And they are living very, very dangerously.
02:57Kessie wants more.
02:58Tony, I'm sure, is offside.
03:00That's a brilliantly accurate finish, but it won't cap.
03:04Givin' that straight to Tony.
03:14It was a terrible throw, and it wasn't punished.
03:17As it holds up, he's Galeno.
03:27Again, running with such purpose.
03:30Or Galeno did brilliantly.
03:32It's off Nacho.
03:33It's an own goal.
03:34And it might just be the points wrapped up before half-time.
03:40Al-Akhli are producing quite the display.
03:44It's walking a tightrope.
03:45I love that little chop back as well onto his right foot.
03:50And it's about, can you find the right area?
03:52Will he can?
03:53And it's unfortunate for Nacho.
03:54Just sticks a leg out and nutmegs him.
03:56If that was a forward player, it would be a wonderful finish.
03:59But for me, it's a long road back now for Al-Qaeda.
04:04Al-Qaeda's clearance went out of play.
04:14That's a decent-looking ball.
04:15Puertas didn't get there.
04:17Julian Quiñones did.
04:19He scores again.
04:20And this game, not done yet in Jeddah.
04:26That's exactly what the doctor ordered, isn't it?
04:29And what I said about Al-Qaeda getting that goal early on.
04:33But they just switch off, Al-Akhli.
04:34You see from the throw-in, it's really poor.
04:37Lack of defending.
04:39The initial phase.
04:41And then it's about Quinonez.
04:43He's the one that really wants to be on the ball, on the front foot.
04:46And it's a real moment where Al-Akhli have switched off.
04:56They've taken this quickly, though.
04:59He comes back towards Toney.
05:00He might have been fouled. He was fouled.
05:04Oh, what an extraordinary beginning to this second half.
05:07It's another penalty for Al-Akhli.
05:12And a yellow card for Nandes.
05:17From the right-hand side.
05:19I think Toney does ever so well there.
05:21He is so, so clever with this.
05:24He just pops it through the legs.
05:29Can he double his personal tally for the night?
05:35Toney.
05:36Perfect again from the spot.
05:39Al-Akhli chasing down those above them.
05:44In the race.
05:46Before he knows it, Castile's the ball's gone past him.
05:53Must be quite hard for goalkeepers to practice,
05:55because it's such a unique technique.
05:574-1 lead not completely set.
06:02Particularly not when Ibanez gives it away.
06:05And here goes Kinyonez.
06:07Waiting for support.
06:09Aubameyang.
06:11Kinyonez again.
06:13Looking for that angle.
06:15And in the end, he delayed a little too long.
06:19Tries to win it back.
06:20Very scrappy.
06:22Puertas!
06:24Brilliant curling effort.
06:27It's a whisker wide.
06:29Well, I thought the moment had disappeared for Alcadesia.
06:33It took so long to try and work something, Kinyonez.
06:38But when it comes out here,
06:40Puertas does ever so well to wrap his foot round it.
06:44See, he takes it quickly.
06:47Kessie's down on the floor.
06:55It's a great ball.
06:56It's a brilliant save.
06:58And it denies Ivan Toni his hat-trick.
07:02Well, his eyes will have lit up.
07:05That was the moment he would have been waiting for.
07:09It's just flattened a little bit, but...
07:12Here's Aubameyang.
07:14And it comes through very neatly.
07:17What a save that is from Mendy.
07:20Extraordinary to deny Kinyonez.
07:25I thought for all the while this was in the back of the net.
07:28Lovely play, by the way, the build-up.
07:30One-touch football.
07:32At this point, I think...
07:34Tessia have got their second goal.
07:39Final few seconds.
07:42A statement victory for Al-Ajli.
07:46Who cut the gap between them and Al-Qadassia to just three points.
07:51Ivan Toni disappointed he didn't get a hat-trick.
07:54But he did score twice.
07:56And Al-Ajli, comfortable winners in the end here in Jeddah.
08:02They have beaten Al-Qadassia by four goals to one.
08:06Two goals to one.
