Download and watch it live on Spoke TV Now app. So this is one of Saudi Arabia's great footballing rivalries and Al-Hilal and Al-Nasser to this stadium since his departure last year. Oh an awkward one there, goodness me. Mohamed Alyami, nobody around him but didn't look too sure did he? Gets caught out there, the goalkeeper. I'm not so sure that Al-Ghashal meant that towards the goal. Goalkeeper misreads the trajectory of the ball. Realised that he was going to carry it over his line before kick-off. The fans enter in the stadium and you can hear the intensity now and the game's just matching. Nunez, good decisive goalkeeping from Al-Hakidi. The last ones to win this fixture, they had the bragging rights, Riyad, last season. Oh goodness me, what's the goalkeeper doing? Simakhan has helped him out. Al-Hakidi just took a swipe at that, a volley almost. Look at Jorge Jesus, how beneath is on the touchline. I mean, he does have an intensity about him, Jorge Jesus. Clipped over the top, Al-Dawsiri is in! And he can only find the top of the net. And it wouldn't have counted anyway. Offside flag raised against him too. It's that high line again from Al-Nasser, we see this quite often. Ruben Neves it is, he looks up. Al-Dawsiri at the top of the screen there. Don't think he held his run. Assistance flag on this near side went up. Couldn't apply the finishing touches, but that's a warning for Al-Nasser, because they do play a high defensive line, and they have been caught out in recent weeks. Oh, my words. Well, that's not a good moment for Al-Yame, because had that shot from Ronaldo been on target, that would have gone underneath the goalkeeper and in. Well, there's the two sides to Mohamed Al-Yame. Cristiano Ronaldo knows there may be a vulnerability there. I mean, this is going well wide, the goalkeeper doesn't even need to get involved. It's an awful technique, takes his eye off the ball, goes underneath and concedes a needless corner. Milinkovic, Savage and Al-Yame continuing his run. Simakhan got the last touch, corner Al-Hilal. That's better from Al-Hilal. They look good when they move the ball quicker and into those wide areas. The eye after Shmael Felix, who's drifting into a deeper position and drifting it towards Ronaldo. There's the goal, and who else but him. The biggest player arrives on the biggest occasion. And the leaders rocked backwards by Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nasser. He loves scoring goals inside the Kingdom Arena. And there's another one for Cristiano Ronaldo. It was a lovely set from Kingsley Coman, ball over the top. Plays it down into the path of Ronaldo. First time on the right foot. High! Goalkeeper gets a touch into the roof of the net. It's Mel Harvey. Coman's got it again for Al Nasser. And Brozovic has got the space, but he hasn't got the ability to truly test Al-Yame. Oh, it's a good take that from Brozovic. It's Neves. It's not to be that time. From that type of distance, the worst thing you want as a goalkeeper is the ball bouncing awkwardly in front of you. Spoke about the two goalkeepers on show this evening, neither in great form or full of confidence. Jaja. Coman. Would have been glorious had he pulled it off. Technical areas for these two managers. You watch the two managers, neither will be anywhere near the technical area. Maldosseri. Quite enough height on the delivery. Neves. Plenty of height on the shot. So powerful from him and he slips it in for Malcolm. Malcolm past Simakan. It's a penalty. The feats were too quick for Mohamed Simakan. Or have a potential passage back into the derby. Maldosseri from the spot. 1-1. A penalty delivered with conviction by one of Saudi Arabia's most famous. Mr. Al-Halal delivers. There was never any doubt with a penalty. Strides up very confidently. The amount of times that he's done that in this stadium sends the goalkeeper the wrong way. Sends those supporters behind the goal that adore him into a frenzy. Ruben Neves goes in to try and retrieve the ball with the goalkeeper, Al-Hakidi, coming together between the two. I'm not so sure why Al-Hakidi was trying to prevent Ruben Neves getting the ball. I mean, we've still got over 30 minutes of the game to go. Defense is looking the other way. It happens very quickly. He's looking at Malcolm, the referee. You look at the referee's vision. He's looking at Malcolm. We're going to get a decision here and it's a bad one for Al-Hakidi. He's sent off. The drama continues in the capital derby. Al-Nasr's goalkeeper conceded a penalty and now he's been dismissed. It's Brozovic. Yaya. Rado waiting. It didn't quite come to him. The opportunity is still there with Koeman. Koeman has got the corner. 10 minutes that could change the course of the season. Neves' corner cut out by Bouchard, but it's kept alive until the header away. Back in again by Ruben Neves. And there it is. A blue wave washes across Riyadh. Al-Halal turn the game around. He's falling apart. Straight from a set plate. The ball comes back out to Ruben Neves. They're looking for offside. Al-Nasr. The ball comes back in the box and he does so superbly well. Mohamed Kano. Come onto the field. He picks himself some space. Goalkeeper comes rushing out to try and close the angle. But it's all about the ball in from Ruben Neves. Mohamed Kano has got eyes for the ball only. Ali Al-Hassan takes aim and not able to produce the spectacular. He's done it before against Al-Halal. Milinkovic. Savic. Al-Durseri. It's another penalty. Salah Al-Durseri trips. Milinkovic. Savic it is. It's a wonderful ball in through to Al-Durseri. And it's Ali Al-Hassan the substitute. Gets his leg across Al-Durseri. And it's a penalty. The referee won't need VAR to confirm this one. Delivers the final dose of capital derby punishment. Al-Halal have three. And Al-Halal have the biggest three points of their season so far. Al-Nasr wave goodbye to another opportunity to beat their rivals. Big, big moment this evening. At the top of the league. Al-Halal sit there this evening. And they will want to stay there. Another confident penalty from Ruben Neves this time. They will not want to relinquish it before the sound of the whistle. Tonight Riyad is blue. 11 in a row for Al-Halal. Win after win after win. But this win one of the most significant. Derby day belongs to Simone and Zaghi. And it belongs to Al-Halal.
