Cristiano Ronaldo hits 961 career goals, Al Nassr move 2nd in the RSL table 💪 | Powered by Toyota

Okay, in the Al-Khalud striker position, so off we go. Al-Nasr with the chance to squeeze the situation at the top of the Saudi Pro League. A wind takes it in towards Shmuel Felix and he has options in the middle as well. One of them is Mane who climbed very high but couldn't keep that header down. Yeah, you can see Jal-Felix. I think he may be looking for Cristiano Ronaldo but the ball didn't have enough on it and Sadio Mane has to challenge for it and he's unfortunate. It's going to be an outstanding header to beat the goalkeeper from that. Advanced left-back position, Ronaldo for Mane. Angelo, Shmuel Felix. That was heading into the corner. Needed Kozani to get down swiftly. Yeah, Kozani's good at that. Those blocks a little too soon. That's an interesting ball over the top. Shmuel Felix has reached it. The goalkeeper hasn't. Felix has left it for Ronaldo and Ronaldo is denied by an excellent bit of defending. By Mansoor Kamara, the young defender. Yeah, Kamara does well. He knows Kozani's not going to get there and he defends ever so well. I think the best thing to do is go on the line. He kind of, Felix left it to Ronaldo. Ronaldo done everything right but he's unlucky. Simmerkamp, Shmuel Felix. That's a delightful touch by him. It wasn't the easiest to bring down. Al-Ghanam, Ronaldo. Well, he was there and he didn't make contact with it. Yeah, we need to see a replay of that. I think it's a great opportunity. From one of the best headers there is in world football, I think that's a great opportunity for Cristiano. Defensive duties, as people want to do going forward. Well, that's a powerful effort. It had Kozani moving for short. Smoothly brought away by Kamara. Yeah, I think it's a good shot. Al-Hassan to be the one doing that. No, he didn't because he's the holding midfielder but because they've got so much. Oh, Martinez, that's not great and suddenly he's put his team in trouble. Here is Al-Aliwa. Cannot find a way to truly test Bento. Yeah, and that is what I see with Al-Nasr. Like sometimes when the game's too comfortable, they get comfortable and make mistakes and Al-Aliwa. Martinez back to Bento. Oh, Bento put himself in a hole. He could bother there, the Al-Nasr goalkeeper. He's not comfortable. I've seen it many a time since when he's been playing. He's not comfortable. John Jesus. A lofted ball in and maybe another crucial Al-Nasr boot. Was there a touch? Let's have a look. We'll see what the assistant referee's decision is here. No, there wasn't. It's going to be an Al-Nasr throw. Was there a touch? No, maybe but yeah, the referee and the linesmen don't think there was a touch. They get the correct decision. The free kick is a good one but it is at a nice height for Bento. Yeah, give him confidence though and he read it ever so well, Bento. And he's moving it on quickly as well to Al-Nasr. Headed down by Mane into the box for Al-Nasr. Pulled back for Joao Felix who sees several bodies plunging in his way to prevent his passage to goal and it is just an Al-Nasr corner. Yeah, I think it's a great block, you know, in the end from John Buckley. Angelo's delivery and Joao Felix and between them they can't force it in and the flag is up anyway. Yeah, I think Ronaldo maybe had been offside. It's a great great leap from Joao Felix to be fatal. Sadio Mane delivers. Joao Felix had Kazani scrambling. Yeah, that's better from Sadio Mane. That's what you want to see. Being positive. It's a great ball into the box. Brilliant play from Mane. Difficult header from Joao Felix going away from Really unlucky. Got a good, better play from Al-Nasr there. Kind of hits his shoulder as well so I don't think he gets the full Felix's delivery. Simakhan's header and Kazani called into action. Yeah, good save from Kazani. It's a good ball in from Joao Felix. I think Ronaldo has a plan. He runs around the back and then he spins there and he's just over his head but it's a good header from Simakhan. Ridiculous. Oh, an error by Kazani. Ronaldo's got a big chance now. He's taking his time. Joao Felix was trying to pick the right spot. Behebri with Ali Al-San alongside him. Salman's got it back to him. Behebri Enrique was in there. Bento was very brave. He's taken a whack for his troubles. Behebri does ever so well but Bento does On for Al-Ghannam who looked for Joao Felix and instead it's come to Ronaldo. And once more there were red shirts in the way. That is unbelievable. I think that's Buckley again with an outrageous block. Ali Al-Hassan, that's a clever pass. Koeman on the move. He's just gonna have to be patient because Mane and Ronaldo are coming but Koeman's doing it alone and then he's got it to Joao Felix who cuts it back for Mane but Al-Nasr denied a beautiful goal by the offside flag. The only person who could be offside there would be Joao Felix where Kingsley Koeman plays in Joao Felix. Unless Sadio Mane is ahead of the ball but he shouldn't be ahead of the ball. Sadio Mane is shaking his head like maybe he is offside. Lively. Angelo. Felix. Ronaldo. 1-0 Al-Nasr. Cristiano Ronaldo on the end of a flowing Al-Nasr move and a goal just two minutes into the second half. Yeah, he's looking to see maybe he's offside but I don't think he's offside. I think Joao Felix has probably been Al-Nasr's best attacking player so far this evening and Ronaldo has probably been the quietest but that's why superstars come alive in and around that six yard box where you can sniff. Joao Felix still turned into a decent pass for Koeman. Mane is making tracks into the penalty area. Koeman sends it across and it smashes off Kamara. It's a corner. It's a corner. It's a good ball in from Kingsley Koeman. I don't know if Sadio... Simakan for 2-0 Al-Nasr and just like that they whip the game away from Al-Khalouz. Yeah and I say that could be game over to be fair and it's a fantastic header from Simakan but it's all about the ball in from Joao Felix. If you put the ball into the danger area you have players that can attack it like Simakan and he was saying it like if he don't score enough goals in the Russian Saudi League well he's just got one. This is smoothness from Al-Nasr. Angelo wants the return ball. Angelo's got it. Angelo for Koeman. Felix oh my words he is trying everything from the playbook tonight Joao Felix. Yeah it's brilliant play from Angelo down that left hand side and Felix he could hit that normally you know what that's called a cheeky Rabona. He tries the Rabona and you know what the form he's in it wouldn't surprise you if that got into top corner. It's fantastic. It's a really good save but look at that pure class that. That's someone who's on top of his game to try that. Koeman shifting and spending and not quite getting it to sit down. Yeah he's unlucky to be fair Kingsley Comer trying to set up good little step over and he tries to bend it with that left foot into the far corner. So let's see what he's going to do. He might think it's the second yellow card he's been booked hasn't he? He has. Red card's out of the pocket and it's a straight red card as well. He's got his feet out he's the one who's giving it away. Koeman with the explosive pace and a good save low down by Kozani. Decent reactions from the Alkalu keeper. Yeah good save from Kozani. He's done well he's made some big saves for them this evening. Good foul Nasser. Koeman again that was very close to being a foul on him. That looked like a penalty to me that he's been told he needs to go back over to that screen. Yeah it's Kingsley Koeman there. Yeah the first contact has caught him. You can see that angle is a better angle from what we were showing at the front. It's a penalty. Al Nasser spot kick. The foul by Strokes Al Nasser right back into the title race. Yeah he does he goes straight to Jael Felix as well so maybe Jael Felix has gave him gave Kingsley Koeman the penalty but yeah it's a good penalty. It's a confident penalty right into that bottom corner. A commanding win by Al Nasser and that is four Saudi Pro League wins in a row as they turn up the heat on the league leaders Al Hilal once more.
