00:35So we're underway, Al-Hazam in the all-white strip,
00:40defending the goal away to our left, and Courtney, I think that is the expression tonight, isn't it,
00:44for them, we'll have to do an awful lot of defending to get through this one.
00:48Straight away an opportunity here for Ronaldo, and it's a good save by Ibrahim Zaid,
00:52who was out quickly off his line to deal with that.
00:56Pressure still on, though.
00:59Blistering start, that would have been.
01:01It's Mane back post, and safely gathered in the end by the keeper.
01:06Yeah, he does really well, as I say.
01:08The first port of call is to stay in the game, but the goalkeeper...
01:11The coaches have come and gone because they've not been able to achieve the goal.
01:16Al-Hazam on the attack, Aldoayi with the shot, and he's not far off target.
01:23Good effort, well dealt with.
01:27He does well, actually.
01:29It's a huge element.
01:30In the most recent victory that Al Nasser had in the league, away to Al-Fate, as Ronaldo is in
01:38with a chance,
01:38and Ronaldo does what he does, puts it in the top corner, but the offside flag has been raised.
01:44I did think there was an element of offside there.
01:48It's a great finish, nonetheless, and we know it will be checked, sometimes to the naked eye.
01:54I don't see its true reflection.
01:56I tell you what, I think he's onside.
01:58I want to be taken off him that he feels has been scored legally.
02:07Spot on.
02:08The goal stands.
02:10I guess the thing is, Courtney, nobody in football knows how to run that line best with a hit.
02:17No, and one of the best things I think that Cristiano Ronaldo has done throughout his career is he's evolved
02:22and he's elevated himself.
02:24He's played in a different way.
02:25He used to be a tricky winger.
02:30Here's Jao Felix, good movement of the ball by Ronaldo is in for his second, surely.
02:35Lost his footing, goes to ground, and somehow it stays at 1-0.
02:40He wants a penalty.
02:41He feels like his back ankle's been clipped.
02:43I think he tries to do a little bit too much there.
02:46When he rounds the goalkeeper, you think, finish it, and he doesn't, and no doubt we know that that...
02:52Third corner for the visitors.
02:55Much deeper this time.
03:00Sarco Bayerns is, and Vento out of love.
03:08Rozovic, Angelo onto the left foot to drive.
03:11On target, but he's down smartly to keep it out.
03:14Yeah, hits it only enough, Angelo, and you can see, as soon as he receives the ball,
03:18what he's thinking, he wants to create half a yard to get the shot off.
03:22Rozovic will pause again on that thought as Jao Felix carries, but plenty in support.
03:27He's threaded it through, and it's 2-0 Al Nasser on the slide to score.
03:32Kingsley Common.
03:35Beautifully crafted.
03:41I think you were right in terms of the action areas.
03:44But the difference is, Al Nasser, twice now, have been clinical when they've had that moment presented to them.
03:53They've been able to put the ball in the back of the net, and it's a lovely way to pass
03:59this one from Felix.
04:00It's combined with that late, deep run from Common, and I think they're too bothered, Al Hizem, potentially about Sadio,
04:10a yellow or a red card coming his way, the way that, the force that he jumped into it with.
04:15It's a great ball, he's found Ronaldo, flag stays down for now.
04:19The referee has given a hand ball, I think the flag has now gone up in the air.
04:28He's finding the front.
04:30Release in common.
04:33Nice front, a Frenchman bombing forward, Simakant, plenty of yellow in the box,
04:37drives it in furiously, Mane can't get to it, ahead of Umaru.
04:43Jao Felix, lovely disguised pass, setting up Mane.
04:50Another deep run from midfield that's causing it.
04:54He's just right, Al Hizem, too close to the goalkeeper.
05:01Jao Felix with Mane ahead of him, Ronaldo waits in the penalty area, Mane gets control of it, pulls it
05:09back.
05:10Jao Felix, great chance, poor execution, chance gone.
05:16Frustrated with himself, no doubt.
05:18I don't know whether it's because it slips on the way down, but he certainly doesn't get it right.
05:25Coles have tried up at the moment for him.
05:33Defended well at the near post by El Nasser.
05:39Bar.
05:42Got away from Eimann.
05:44Ordered by Mane.
05:49Selfie goal by Bento.
05:52Common, Soltan free on this near side, Common instead heads infield.
05:58It's dropping for Ronaldo.
06:01Straight at Zayid.
06:03It's just a reaction snapshot, isn't it?
06:06Falls to him.
06:07In a good position, isn't it?
06:09In the steps, Al Amri.
06:12He's gone for Ronaldo.
06:13Ronaldo!
06:17Zayid does just enough.
06:19And Ronaldo turns around with huge frustration etched on that famous face.
06:25I can't believe it.
06:27It's a good first touch to bring it into his path.
06:31And again, makes it well enough.
06:34Pretty solid, but...
06:36Zayid equal to it and he's happy to see that one bubble.
06:40Here's Brozovic.
06:43Soltan.
06:46Ronaldo rising.
06:49Now Felix couldn't keep it in.
06:55It's incredible, isn't it?
06:57The elevation that gets on these leaves, Cristiano Ronaldo, but he just...
07:05Angelo forward, Ronaldo, surely miles offside.
07:19Normally it's controlled the game with the same composure they did in moments in the first half.
07:25Pulled it down nicely enough, Al Shamari.
07:28But he's wide with his attempts on goal.
07:30Prime example there.
07:31There's still been opportunities for Al Hazem, which is credit to them in the way that they've played.
07:38There would be an element of offside there, if that was it.
07:41Nice from Jean-Felix.
07:44Angelo.
07:48Looking to go all the way.
07:49What a run this is from Angelo!
07:52What a goal!
07:54Brazilian magic.
07:57Angelo makes it three.
07:59And the three points are secured.
08:03You know what I really like about this goal?
08:05There's a moment where I think Angelo can play common in, and he's offside common.
08:12Whether it's just the fact that Angelo wants to hold on to the ball,
08:15or whether he recognises that and knows not to play it.
08:19But either way, he picks it up here.
08:24Full of running.
08:25Endeavour.
08:27Just feints there like he's going to play in his teammate and doesn't.
08:31And at that moment, as soon as he's got that far, beat that many players.
08:35Itihad, ten men out of Itihad.
08:38And here's Ronaldo!
08:41Four!
08:42Not dissimilar to his first half goal, that, in terms of how he put it away.
08:52I think he was just asking the question there.
08:54No offside, just double checking.
08:57But, right, brilliant finish.
09:01Very, very similar to the one we saw from him in the first half.
09:06Yeah, he finished, and there, in fact, goes the full-time whistle.
09:11Job done for Al Nasser.
09:13A thoroughly professional performance, Courtney.
09:16Yeah, really impressive.
09:18There were moments where Al-Hazem really did threaten, but...
09:22To be professional, to keep that clean sheet.
09:25To not panic and get frustrated.
09:30And now I need my home.
09:35And now I've sent you to the table.
09:39And now I've sent you to the table.
09:39What do you mean to the table in front of me?
09:40Is that too big eder 혁.
09:40I've posted to it.
09:40Or, what have you got?
09:41Let's look at it now and tell about the entry of Pioneer,
09:41where you're in the middle of the quad.
09:41And let's hear from there,
