00:00Off we go and Sufian Rahimi straight away kicks us off with Alain playing from left to right on your screen and goes straight back to the goalkeeper.
00:12The visitors can now burst away on that far side. Cancelo tries to get the crossover.
00:19The danger is still there and the shot comes in. Wide of the mark from Aldosseri.
00:26Good work from Eric Jorgens to snuff out the danger. The long ball for Rahimi, that's what he relishes.
00:32Oh and it's a dreadful error from Mohamed Alyami and he's punished.
00:38The flag's gone up though, it won't count.
00:42It's what Rahimi loves. A high line from the defence and he can run on to long balls and then Alyami, goodness me, what an error.
00:53But he could have had a let off here.
00:59Concedes the throw in. Switched off for a second there, Cancelo.
01:06Shoot is the call and again not dealt with all that effectively by the goalkeeper.
01:13Kakou Ford looking for Rahimi again trying to get in behind the defence.
01:19Koulibaly snuffs out the danger.
01:23Mitrovic finds the run of Raymond Lodi. Lodi gets the shot in and scores.
01:31First time they've really threatened Kalidisa's goal.
01:37And Lodi finds the back of the net. Really quick counter-attack.
01:42It was played in by Mitrovic, made his way into the area.
01:48Shot through the legs I think in the end of Cardoso.
01:54Kalidisa will have been unsighted.
02:00Yes, the ball's gone between Cardoso's legs into the corner of the net.
02:07Neymar up off the bench, absolutely ecstatic.
02:12Six and a half minutes of normal time remaining there.
02:17Palacios with his right foot.
02:22Park trying to fashion a shot. Jorgens is there, yes!
02:27It's Rahimi and it's 1-1.
02:31Oh yes! Who else?
02:42Park thought about a shot, kept it alive. Jorgens with the ball across.
02:49Rahimi was behind the ball.
02:55That I'm sure will count, it will be checked of course.
03:01But he couldn't miss from that sort of range.
03:04Really well played by Park though to keep that alive.
03:10And there was Rahimi. Mitrovic cutting inside.
03:16Neves out to Malcolm on that far side.
03:24Oh yes, Savage!
03:27It's 2-1.
03:32And no wonder Kalidisa looks dumbstruck.
03:38Look at that.
03:41Savage, he couldn't miss really, could he?
03:45So much time on that far side for Cancelo to pick his spot with the cross.
03:51And Savage, no one had picked him up.
03:55From that sort of range, he simply wasn't going to miss.
04:01They switched off there, Alain, and they've paid the ultimate price.
04:08Corner swung in.
04:11Malcolm can try and bring it away.
04:14There's a chance for a quick break here, Nasser Al-Dossery.
04:18Ball forward to Salim Al-Dossery who goes round the keeper.
04:22Gets the shot in and scores!
04:25Oh yes! End-to-end stuff from Al-Hilal.
04:30Fantastic.
04:35They get their third and it's their second in added time.
04:40Nasser Al-Dossery, it was.
04:42Played the through ball.
04:45Salim went round the keeper and from a really acute angle,
04:49did fantastically well to get his right foot shot on target.
04:55And erringly into the corner of the net.
04:59Karlan Issa had committed himself.
05:03There was no one home.
05:07And the captain for Al-Hilal, leading from the front.
05:12Well, this game produced goals in May.
05:15It's producing goals again now.
05:19It's Al-Hilal.
05:23What the best sides do.
05:25A bit of a strut now.
05:27Malcolm's through.
05:28Oh, and very nearly adding a fourth.
05:33A bit of a wobble.
05:35They're now very much in charge.
05:38What a thrilling first half it's been here at the Hazabin Zayed Stadium.
05:42Pactakor away.
05:44Uzbekistan side for the end of the year.
05:49Kakou.
05:51Mohamed Abbas with the shot.
05:54Quick feet from him.
05:57Sanabria coming on.
05:59And Mohamed Abbas going off.
06:01So the first two changes have always looked so good going forward.
06:07A bit porous at the back.
06:11Mabba.
06:12Oh, he's got the ball across all the way.
06:14Yes, it's in.
06:17Out of absolutely nothing really.
06:20The substitutes combining.
06:23Sanabria was at the back post.
06:25No one tracked his run.
06:28Mabba picks the ball up.
06:31Makes the run forward.
06:33And then no one at all at this back post picking up Sanabria.
06:39Well, there'll be a big inquest there in the Hilal defence.
06:45Cute finish from the 20-year-old Argentine.
06:50It's his second goal of the season and his second in consecutive matches.
07:03Malcolm.
07:08Back heel.
07:09It's out, Savage.
07:10Oh, it's in.
07:11It's 4-2.
07:15They've gone straight up the other end, Al Hilal,
07:17and restored their two-goal advantage.
07:20And it's that man again, the captain.
07:23Salim Aldoussiri right in front of the Al Hilal fans.
07:28...between these two teams and we've got six again now.
07:33Swept in with his right foot by the captain.
07:37Savage's ball in and it was just helped on its way.
07:42Aldoussiri getting in front of Bandar al-Ababi.
07:47And there was nothing that Khalid Issa could do about that.
07:52Way beyond his reach into the top corner of the net.
07:57And it's 4-2.
08:03Rahimi.
08:07Sanabria.
08:10Lazios.
08:11Rahimi.
08:12I think he stayed onside.
08:14Trying to get a shot in and scores!
08:16Oh, yes!
08:18Rahimi.
08:19He loves doing that.
08:21He loves coming in off the left wing.
08:24Getting onto his right foot.
08:27He completely wrong-footed Al-Yami there.
08:31He felt let down by his defence.
08:34Was his positioning an issue?
08:39Well, it's a game that just keeps giving, this one, isn't it?
08:46Al-Ababi looking for a labour.
08:49Takes it on the chest.
08:51Dealt with by Tambakti.
09:01Aldoussiri surging forward.
09:03Oh, yes!
09:05A hat-trick for the captain.
09:08Wonderful strike.
09:11That was unstoppable.
09:14And a third for the captain.
09:17What a hit with his right foot.
09:20A surging run.
09:23He wasn't to be denied.
09:26Bang.
09:29Picked that one out of the back of the net.
09:37Look at the smiles there.
09:45Neymar's family here to enjoy the moment.
09:52There's confirmation of the change.
09:58Every time they've looked as though
10:01they're fashioning a way back into the match.
10:05The situation gets away from them.
10:08And that's going to be the yellow card.
10:11Al-Bulahi.
10:13He's saying that ball's just hit him on the shoulder.
10:16As the ball's coming from behind him.
10:19The referee was right on the spot.
10:21You can see him running forward.
10:24I think the referee's got that absolutely spot on.
10:27Al-Bulahi.
10:29Definite movement of the arm there.
10:39Check of the monitor.
10:43He's going to his pocket.
10:47He's cancelling the yellow card.
10:50And getting a red one out.
10:53Al-Bulahi has to walk.
10:58He can't believe it.
11:01Palacios.
11:04Around the ball. It's Rahimi.
11:07Oh, good save.
11:10Top stop there.
11:14Just off the pitch.
11:17And the play goes on.
11:21Now Neymar feeds Mitrovic.
11:24Neymar again.
11:26Oh, just wide.
11:28Wouldn't that have been a storybook situation?
11:31Neymar felt this should have been a corner.
11:34He felt the goalkeeper got a little touch on that.
11:37This angle will show us more.
11:41Yes, it was a fingertip.
11:44A really good save.
11:47He's been struggling for time on the pitch this season.
11:51Cardoso.
11:57Chance for a break now from Rahimi.
12:00He's still got pace to burn.
12:02Down he goes under challenge.
12:04And the referee points to the spot.
12:08But is it offside?
12:13Was Laba offside? Was Rahimi offside there?
12:16That's going to be checked.
12:21Clumsy challenge from Khalifa Al-Dossery.
12:26He's arm across Rahimi and then bundling into the floor.
12:31The offside will be checked.
12:38Prespo wants a red card there, I think, for the substitute.
12:46The decision is a penalty. Rahimi.
12:49Yes! 5-4.
12:52Remember he scored two penalties in this fixture in May.
12:56In that 4-2 win when he got a hat-trick.
12:59They've been knocked down so many times this evening.
13:02They've kept on coming back.
13:05Rahimi dinks it in. Laba!
13:08Just wide!
13:11That would have been the icing on the cake.
13:13An equaliser with an overhead.
13:17Rahimi providing.
13:19And Laba.
13:21Let's see how wide it was in the end.
13:24Wonderful effort.
13:30Takes that corner towards the back post.
13:33All the way through.
13:36And the referee brings an absolute classic to a conclusion.
13:40Victory again for Al-Hilal.
