Cristiano Ronaldo Scores GOAL 961st vs Al Kholood

Ben, but that's how Al-Khalud are doing it and you wish them well. A real barnstorm between Al-Khalud and Al-Nasr. What is in store for us? Adi Pro League, since his move in the offseason, he's looking like a superb piece of business from Al-Khalud. Abdullah Al-Oueden is the man in charge tonight. And there are the two captains, Cristiano Ronaldo and Katan Behebri of Al-Khalud. Judging by the Ronaldo smile, I think he's won the toss. Small gains and all that, Clinton. I don't know if he did. I covered a game where he scored a hat-trick. Within three points of the lead is Al-Halal. Clinton Morrison, this is a very absorbing title race that is, they have played against Al-Etihad and Al-Akhli in that time though. Only win for Al-Khalud in those five matches. A 5-2 victim towards Joao Felix and he has options in the middle as well. One of them is Mane who climbed very high but couldn't keep. Is there a chance for Mane again? There's a little deflection on that ball from Joao Felix, which probably meant that Mane was having to readjust. So he's gone to Sadio Nacer in that advanced left-back position. Ronaldo for Mane, Angelo, Joao Felix. That was starting blocks. Started those blocks a little too soon. That's an interesting ball over the top. Joao 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 Mansour. Well you see it's a great ball, isn't it? He's onside Joao Felix. He times it ever so well. He does everything right and he thinks he's getting a shot. Ronaldo comes in. Ronaldo does and it's good defending from Kamara. Reads the flight of the ball and where it's going to go and really good defending. It's got a really interesting story, Mansour Kamara. He's only 19 years old. He's from Guinea. Joined the club a few weeks ago on trial in the hope that Al-Khalud might be able to get him into the squad. I wish I did get nine five something. I'd be jumping for joy. It's a delightful touch by him. It wasn't the easiest to bring down. Al-Khanam. Ronaldo. Well he misjudges it and he does. It's a free header. He gets it horribly wrong Cristiano Ronaldo. He knows that should be 1-0 to El Nacer and he knows that. Because as you mentioned that is very much Ronaldo territory. Here he is Ronaldo. Teeing it up for Mane. Koeman in the middle. Felix and Ronaldo coming into now. Leinsman's in there as well. Just to make sure. Back to Angelo. Angelo's delivery and Joao Felix and Ronaldo and Sime Can. Between them they can't force it in and the flag is up anyway. Yeah I think Ronaldo maybe has been offside. It's a great great leap from João Felix to be fair. He's not the big player. He gets up ever so well but I think Ronaldo yeah he's in an offside position interfering with Cassano in line of him. So yeah it's the right decision. Cassani's organizing the wall the goalkeeper in a way that suggests to me that he's preparing for Ronaldo to take aim. No I think that's what his boss was telling him to get into the box. Maybe he's got a better opportunity of you know getting his head on it. Felix's delivery. Sime Can's header. He spins there and he just over his head but it's a good header from Sime Can but a really good save from Cassani. Strong right hand as well. Doesn't have a Saudi Pro League goal this season. Mohamed Sime Can. 1500 matches in management. He's into his 36th year as a coach. Oh an error by Cassani. Ronaldo's got a big chance now. He's taking his time. João Felix was trying to pick the right spot and then eventually the flag is up. Yeah I think from the initial press I think Angelo's offside from this bit here. Yeah he's offside. Well that's uh both goalkeepers who have put their team in a spot of bother albeit that wouldn't have mattered for Cassani but not great for Conte's leg at the ball. There's a bit of an issue for Norbert Jonbert the centre half. He's down and he's not getting back up to his feet so they are one light at the moment. Alcalude as Ronaldo springs forward for Alcalude but it might hit Mane moving forwards. That was Kamara diving at his feet. You're not gonna make it. Coman fired it back in Ronaldo's direction. He's giving it to João Felix. Back to Ronaldo. On for Alcanam who look for João Felix and instead it's come to Ronaldo and once more. They're not gonna cause problems but here it is. It's a brilliant block from Buckley. Unbelievable block. He's had one in. He's had two of them but that is even better because the power that Ronaldo generates and you have to be brave and he's brave. He's brave Buckley. Brilliant block. Coman on the move. He's just gonna have to be patient because Mane and Ronaldo are coming but Coman's doing it alone and then he's got it to João Felix who cuts it back for Mane but Alnassa denied a beautiful goal by the offside flag. The only person who could. Sadio Mane is shaking his head like maybe he is offside. Oh it's a close one. I think you know what huge credit to the linesman. I think he gets that spot on. I think he might be just a toe a toe ahead of the defender but it's well spotted. It's a close one though. It is a close one. They'll be drawing the lines. They will going forward. It's now down to Alnassa after result for El Halal only getting a draw against El Cadiz. A short spell with Sheffield Wednesday as well. Ronaldo who was the player who saw one very big block from Buckley. Deserves that bit of love for the two blocks he makes but Alnassa wouldn't want that. He's unfortunate João Felix. Here he is again. He's looking lively. Angelo, Felix, Ronaldo one down Alnassa. Cristiano Ronaldo on the end of a flowing Alnassa 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 João Felix probably been Alnassa's best attacking player so far this evening and Ronaldo's probably been the quietest but that's why superstars come alive in and around that six yard box where you can sniff out a goal. They'll be questioning it wanting offside but we'll have to wait and see for the replay but I love the celebration as well but it's good play here from Sadio Mane into Angelo. He's well onside. It's a brilliant goal. I think João Felix is brilliant because he can easy go for goal. I've seen many strikers in that situation go for goal. He says I'm going to give it to my teammate for an easy goal and Ronaldo's not missing from there that's for sure. Well particularly off the back of João Felix hitting the crossbar just 30 seconds. Simakan Fortuny Alnassa and just like that they whip the game away from Alcaluz. Yeah that's it. 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 João 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 he don't score enough goals in the Russian Saudi League but he's just got one this evening. It's a fantastic header from a very good defender but great ball into the box from Felix. I wonder if Mitrovic got 130. It's an under 11. Probably 200. Here's Ronaldo on 961. Felix leaves it. Mane takes up the charge and maybe lacking a bit of power at the end of it. It's brilliant football. It's brilliant. It's beautiful. A little cheeky nutmeg. Can he pick the right pass? Brilliant from João Felix. He just couldn't take it in his stride Sadio Mane just behind him but this yeah that's a joy to watch from Cristiano Ronaldo. Nice move this from Alnassa. Angelo wants the return ball. Angelo's got it. Angelo for Koeman. Felix oh my words. He is trying everything from the playbook 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 have surprised you if that had gone 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. Al-Khlud. They're going to be playing Al-Ittihad in March. That's Alnassa. That is a competition they are no longer in. First time ever I think Al-Khlud Credit to them. There's no contact by Ronaldo or Kamara so yeah. Slice of contact. Some conclusive footage of that yeah. Not enough for me. Al-Khlud has given it to Al-Ghanam who gives it to Ronaldo who moves it delicately to Koeman and he wanted to get it back to Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo maybe just getting a little rest. I mean he won't want this but a little rest for the legs ahead of another game for Alnassa on Monday against Al-Riyadh and indeed an opportunity for Aymen Yaya from the bench. Garib, Joao Felix, Kingsley Koeman, Yaya, Felix. Almost trying to walk it in Alnassa. Koeman again. That was very close to being a foul on him. Al-Khlud you can see there. I don't know. I think that stays as what the referee's decision. It's a hard one. Every angle is difficult isn't it though because that angle looks like he's inside the box. The other angle looks like he's on the line. It's a penalty. I think that is about to be the decision that is indicated to everybody here. Alnassa spot kick. The foul by Salah eventually penalized. Emphatically seal the deal for Alnassa tonight. Kingsley Koeman strokes Alnassa right back into the title race. Yeah he does. He goes straight to Joao Felix as well so maybe Joao Felix has gave him gave Kingsley Koeman a penalty but yeah it's a good penalty. It's a confident penalty right into that bottom corner. And a lot of those Alnassa players want to go and give congratulations to Kingsley Koeman. And certainly the congratulations are coming the way of Alnassa because they have got three points. So they are heading for another away win Alnassa. They got so many early on in this Saudi Pro League season. One at our town Al-Ittihad Al-Hizam at Neal Messi and then they went two and a half months without one until that win at Damac last week. In terms of wins on the road that would as they turn up the heat on the league leaders Al-Hilal once more. A gap that only a couple of weeks ago was eight points.
