It'll be a bank of five, a bank of four, and say try and break us down.
Whipped back in and sent towards goal by Garib,
and just out of reach for Ronaldo, who was a fraction away from turning it home.
There's got to be a corner, surely. There was a deflection on the way, wasn't there?
I think it was a lovely cut back.
Looking to create something here, and there could be an opportunity,
and Garib finds the bottom corner!
Abdulrahman Garib, who scored the winning goal against Al-Shabaab,
rewarded with the start tonight, and takes less than five minutes
to break the deadlock and find the back of the net.
It's Damak Nil, Al-Nasr 1.
Well, that settles any early nerves.
You wouldn't know it from George Azouz's reaction.
Business as normal for the manager, but it's been a good, sharp start from Al-Nasr,
and particularly the goalscorer there, Abdulrahman Garib.
He's looked quick, he's looked sharp, he's looked alert.
Koeman is down the right-hand side.
We spoke about him before the game and his importance with his assists,
kind of fortunately arrives at Garib's feet, but his first touch is wonderful.
Second touch is brilliant as well.
Reverts it back onto his right foot, and then he takes his time.
Calm substitute in the league this season,
but here comes Damak, looking to respond straight away,
and there was a golden opportunity!
Hosawi, the right-back, galloping forward, and the chance there to equalise.
The league for João Félix, who wants the ball here.
Four without a goal, actually, for the Portuguese player.
How about that for a pass for Ronaldo?
Sensational ball from João Félix.
Ronaldo denied by Kevin with the save.
Super, super ball from João Félix.
Picks out his Portuguese strike partner, and they've done this all season,
they've done it so well.
Ronaldo holds his run, looks like he would have been onside.
It's a full stretch.
He'll be disappointed with himself, Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's been loaned out from Chelsea to Milan,
and the ball's forward here for Ronaldo.
Skipping clear of the defence,
and he knew the flag was going to go up, I think.
But it was covered by Jamal Harkus.
Another warning for Damak.
Defence hold a high line that time.
He's well offside.
Lanazi taking it beautifully, away from Kingsley Coman.
This looks promising.
Vardar into the penalty area.
Alkanam forward.
Coman with time to have a little look up,
try to pick his target.
Ronaldo there, and Kevin gets there first,
and Garib tries to go for the cheeky chip.
He's cool in those situations, Garib.
There's a lot that would have rushed that shot.
Tried to put the laces through it.
Sadal Nasser into Garib,
and the ball deflecting there.
They're claiming a handball,
claiming it deflected off the hand of Harkus.
Super again from Garib.
I think the ball was on earlier into Cristiano Ronaldo,
who was making a run to the...
Not just for Al Nasser, but for the both of them.
When you look at what they've both scored,
they've scored over 70% of all of Al Nasser's goals between them.
Sanussi, Halsawi, Bento had come off his line,
and survives what could have been an embarrassing moment.
That's one thing that leaves you as a goalkeeper,
when you don't play for a long time,
it's the reading of the through ball.
You say that players are out of match practice,
and for a goalkeeper...
Sharahili, bursting free.
Here's an opportunity for Damak,
and an opportunity taken,
but the flag goes up straight away.
Miles offside, miles offside.
He shouldn't have been, because he was looking across the line.
That's what I spoke about, the Al Nasser high line.
You watch Martinez there,
he realises that he's the deepest line defender,
and that he was playing Sharahili.
Xhar-Felix with a little touch,
collected by Angelo, considers his options,
chose to pick out Ronaldo,
and the deflection carries it behind,
and Ronaldo acknowledges the generosity of his team-mate there.
He just couldn't get it out of his feet,
could he? He's just frustrated,
they see a quick head in his hands.
Of course, they were doing fantastically well
at the top of the table.
Here's Xhar-Felix, chance for number two,
and a chance wasted.
He's got to score, and he knows it.
He's been in such good form this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo it is, it's a lovely ball into Angelo.
Angelo's first touch into the field,
and they're very difficult to pick up when they're playing like that.
Given away by Damac once more,
and Garry, brilliant ball, Xhar-Felix!
Smashes that one off the crossbar.
Two great opportunities in roughly a minute.
More sensational play from Garry.
Almost identical position for Xhar-Felix,
and once again, he goes with his left foot,
and he tries to put his laces through it.
He goes for pace and power,
and it's high and up and over.
That's two in the space of team-mates.
Felt there was a foul.
Garry, this is Marcelo Brozovic,
trying to find Ronaldo,
who just gets bundled out of it.
Katani's ball, Bedran has stayed up
on the edge of the penalty area.
Here he is, Abdelkader Bedran,
looking to set up a team-mate.
Here's a chance, good save by Bento.
Twice.
The second one denying Abdullah Al-Katani.
Flag up anyway.
But that was more encouraging for Damac.
Much better, much better play.
Swift, decisive play all over the top,
and he was offside.
Bedran, and again, he shouldn't be offside.
He's at the bottom of the pack,
he's looking all the way along the line.
There's no excuses for him to be offside.
Tries to pick the pass.
Back across, and hit first time.
Brings the save, Vardar the shot.
Dealt with by Bento,
who's been busier in the two and a half minutes.
That's Kingsley Coman sliding it through.
João Felix across, blocked by Abdelkader Bedran.
The slow build-up, the patient build-up,
it gives Damac enough time to sit
and put those two red walls in place.
Very rarely do they end up on the end of a thrashing.
It's in towards Ronaldo, who scores this time.
There's the trademark celebration.
That's what they came to see.
Goal number 960.
Nasser's lead is doubled,
and the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League
finds the back of the net.
And they've scored nine goals in those games,
averaging just over two a game,
and that's where we are now.
But here they come, into the box once more.
Ronaldo was a bit more of a toe poke
and then an anxious look across
at the assistant on the near side.
Yeah, the assistant on this near side
put his flag up pretty much straight away, very quickly.
But again, good interchange from Al Nasser
to keep the ball alive.
At the moment, no sign of that happening here against Damac.
Vardar looking to try and change that
into Al-Qahtani.
Valentin Vardar took control of that one.
Brozovic again.
Marcelo Brozovic, he covers some ground.
Central midfielder, but he does love a defence.
In it comes, and they are back in the match.
Jamal Harkas with the head up.
And for only the sixth time this season,
Damac score at home,
and suddenly they are back in the game against Al Nasser.
Well, we said that a set player
was a potential route back into it for them.
Al Nasser marks only across the edge of the six-yard box.
There's a super delivery across that near post,
but there's nobody anywhere near Jamal Harkas.
Somebody has to move out of the space.
Winning goal in this fixture last season.
Into Ronaldo.
It's a lovely ball,
and it's his second goal of the match,
but it will not count.
The flag has been raised.
Ronaldo denied and clearly not in agreement
with the decision of the officials.
Let's have a little look here.
Super ball, isn't it?
Out to Algernon.
It's a good first touch.
I think the chance is gone.
He doesn't hold his run.
There's a final whistle,
and a minor flare up there
as the referee blows for full time.
And being separated,
but it is Al Nasser who take the three points.
With a goal in each half,
five minutes into each half,
the second goal coming from Cristiano Ronaldo,
the first early in the match.
A lovely goal from Abdulrahman Garib.
