00:00We are off and underway, the first of the semi-finals in the Saudi Super Cup for 2024.
00:11Both sides in their traditional colours, Al-Akhli in the white, Al-Halal in that famous blue.
00:16Both looking to try and make something of a statement from the start given the fevered
00:21build-up that we see.
00:23It might actually happen here for Al-Akhli, they are first to threaten.
00:29Navid keeping it in play.
00:33There's some space for him to try and locate.
00:35Al-Nabit is going to take.
00:39He whips it in with some pace, Bono under his bar.
00:43Takes decisive action initially.
00:47Al-Nabit might get another go yet.
00:53Just over the head of Darisi.
00:55Yeah, and I like this corner a lot, bags of pace on it, under the crossbar.
01:02No-one can get anything on it.
01:07It's the right sort of area again, and well, that was close.
01:10That was a chance.
01:13Al-Tambekti up from the back was in there.
01:17It's a fantastic corner, we know about the delivery that Neves possesses.
01:24Bags of pace on it, which makes it easy.
01:27Al-Tambekti does everything right, heads it back across goal.
01:32Banez, a lot going on in there, just cleared the head of Renan Lodi.
01:37Another opportunity maybe for Mahrez to whip it in.
01:41Banez there, couldn't keep the header on target, came at him quickly,
01:45but from that sort of range, it was a big opening.
01:49All the pace is on the ball.
01:50Just about onside as well, I think, and you see the way he moves his head so much.
01:55Doesn't need to do that, he's trying to put all the power on the ball,
01:58but it's already there.
02:00I think it actually comes off his shoulder in the end,
02:02he just completely misinterprets the ball.
02:12So the added period extended because of the stoppage that we've just seen.
02:15And Al-Hilal flying forward here with Mitrovic in the middle,
02:18didn't quite come his way, did reach Michael,
02:20that's a big block on the line.
02:23Al-Haraish in the way.
02:26Al-Nabit back out after that period of treatment,
02:30back in the thick of things, able to clear it away.
02:32But that was close.
02:34Absolutely brilliant by Al-Haraish though,
02:35how many times have you seen defenders duck out the way of that?
02:38But makes sure, puts his body on the line.
02:41I think Mendy had it covered anyway,
02:42and it's a really good strike from Michael, keeps it down.
02:45But that is a goal-saving block.
02:51The pick of the chance is coming right at the end of it.
02:54Yes, really good play down the left-hand side from Al-Hilal.
02:56Look at this.
02:57Brilliant strike, it's controlled, side foot, knee over the ball
03:00to make sure that it stays within the width of the goal,
03:02but that is a fantastic block.
03:06We'll see him at some stage,
03:07but let's see what comes from this free kick.
03:09First, it's a good one.
03:10He's perfectly onto the head of Malenkovic, Savage,
03:13and he's put it wide.
03:16Similar in terms of, I think,
03:17trying to get too much on the ball.
03:20And it's coming across you like that,
03:22all the paces on the ball.
03:23Wonderful delivery from that man, Neves, by the way.
03:26That's got to be glanced back across.
03:28You've just got to try and help it along its way,
03:30but you see there, gets full contact on that
03:34and completely makes a hash of it.
03:37And that's two golden opportunities for each side
03:40at that end of the pitch now.
03:42The intention, I think,
03:43was to return it to him pretty swiftly,
03:45but it wasn't precise enough
03:46and Mahrez now on the move,
03:48as is Darisi.
03:52He did well to reach it
03:53and he's still going here!
03:55And has he been able to find the finish as well?
03:57Not quite.
03:58Oh, he's unlucky.
04:00Such a swift, threatening counter-attack
04:03and Abdulkarim Darisi looked like he was going to finish it off.
04:08Yeah, he did.
04:09He's got a teammate in the middle as well.
04:11I think it's the right decision for Mino there.
04:14I think he's blocked off by Renan Lodi.
04:17He tries to angle it in at the near post.
04:20Looks like it actually takes a bit of a touch off the defender
04:24on the way.
04:25It does take a little clip.
04:27Obviously saved by the keeper anyway.
04:30Oh, Mahrez.
04:31That's what they've done here.
04:32And actually Mahrez slips it across goal
04:34and there's the finish!
04:35Beautifully placed into the corner
04:38Beautifully placed into the corner
04:40by Roberto Firmino
04:42and Al-Akhli leading the Super Cup semi-final.
04:47I mentioned this just before the game.
04:49Not too much to choose between the goalkeepers
04:52in terms of defensively and shot-stopping
04:55but I do believe that Mendy is a lot better
04:57playing out from the back.
04:59Wonderful ball out to Riyad Mahrez.
05:01He does really well with his right foot there.
05:04First time, just put it in a dangerous area.
05:07That dangerous area for someone to attack
05:09and this is a wonderful finish.
05:11By Bobby Firmino, it's bouncing up
05:13just before it contacts him.
05:19Mendy got a glove on it.
05:21Salem El-Dorseri will return it.
05:24And there is the equalising goal!
05:27And who else?
05:30Mitrovic makes it 1-1.
05:37You see in the second phase here
05:39he comes out to get the ball.
05:41Changes his mind, starts to backtrack.
05:43He's so unset.
05:46And that makes it so much easier
05:49for Mitrovic at that back stick.
05:51Equally, the defending as well on him is poor.
05:55See no one with him really in the end.
06:00It's a good header
06:02but Al-Akhli, they'll be so disappointed
06:06with all the hard work they've put in
06:08and the defending at the vital moment is poor.
06:15They were so close.
06:19Jumped on by Michael
06:21and nearly bounced back towards him.
06:27Michael over eager.
06:33It's going to be that.
06:35Abdulhamid's foul is the last action of regulation time.
06:40Al-Akhli were so close
06:42to a famous victory here.
06:44They still may go on and record it
06:46but they will need to do so
06:48from the penalty spot
06:49because these sides in the semi-final
06:51of the Super Cup
06:52cannot be separated.
06:56Halal rescuing things
06:58with that 90th-minute equaliser
07:00from Alexander Mitrovic
07:01after a fine finish from Firmino
07:04and finished off a wonderful opening goal
07:06for Al-Akhli.
07:07It looked like it might be enough.
07:09It hasn't quite been yet.
07:10Full-time in Abba.
07:11Al-Halal won.
07:12Al-Akhli won.
07:14And soon the responsibility again.
07:16The first penalty in the shootout.
07:22And it's a good penalty.
07:23It needed to be
07:25because Mendy went the right way
07:27but Ruben Neves kept his composure.
07:29He didn't fall today.
07:30That little stutter run up
07:32waiting to see which way Mendy goes.
07:36They score it in the game already.
07:38Roberto Firmino
07:40does level it up
07:42without a little bit of fortune
07:44maybe this time.
07:48Waiting.
07:49Bosnia for the goalkeeper to move
07:51and Bono
07:52will be very disappointed with that
07:53but goalkeepers always are
07:54when it goes under them like that.
07:57Take their turn again.
07:59Another good penalty
08:01from Salah Al-Dawsiri.
08:04They're at the same place really
08:05as Ruben Neves.
08:06Same outcome.
08:10It's Gabriel Vega
08:11and it's saved by Bono.
08:14Read his intentions.
08:16Gets right by going right
08:17and makes the stop.
08:19And it's the first twist
08:20in the shootout.
08:22Yeah, it's a good save.
08:23What I will say about this penalty
08:25it's a good height
08:26for the goalkeeper.
08:27You see there
08:28it's mid-goal
08:29and that's what you always
08:30want to avoid
08:31and even need to go.
08:32Alexander Mitrovic
08:33forced this shootout
08:34in the first place
08:35with his equalising goal
08:36and he scores
08:37in the shootout
08:38down the middle.
08:40And George Aces
08:41his side getting closer.
08:43Nerves of steel
08:44to go down the middle.
08:46It's always a risk
08:47I think
08:48but
08:49clear in his convictions
08:50Mitrovic.
08:57And he's missed it.
08:58Balloons it over the bar
09:00there's the Brazilian
09:01and Al-Hilal
09:02are almost there
09:04having been so close
09:05to defeat
09:07their one penalty away
09:08in the shootout.
09:10Oh dear.
09:11Terrible penalty.
09:15One Serbian scored
09:16the last one
09:17can he do likewise here
09:18to settle it?
09:21It's there.
09:24Steps up to the spot
09:25with composure
09:26produced power
09:28and Al-Hilal
09:30march on
09:31to the final
09:32of the Super Cup.
09:35How they've had to do it
09:36the hard way.
09:38Brinkmanship once more
09:40but George Aces
09:41his side
09:42just do not know
09:43when they're beaten.
09:45A 90th minute equaliser
09:47and then
09:484-1
09:49it finishes
09:50on penalties
09:51in the shootout.
09:52Sergei Malenkovich
09:53Savic wraps it up
