Cristiano Ronaldo vs Al Fayha (A) • 27/08/2024 • English Commentary • Saudi League | HD 1080i

Arrival & Warmups a very good evening and wherever you are joining us from a very warm welcome to match day two of the Saudi pro league tonight we are in Al maama in the heart of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia so are NASA failing to win that Opening match in the Saudi pro league they failed to win the Super cup as well but something's never changed Ronaldo scoring we saw him there he's now just two away from 900 career goals for club and Country and a fully fit support cast as well alongside him tonight and Al NASA 14 points behind the eventual Champions alh Nar season already two points behind seems strange to say so early on but such are the standards set by Al hillal that Ronaldo and Co know that they can't afford any sort of slips and just look at those sort of statistics and he's scoring the goals but at the other end they're not keeping them out team no and that's what will be the frustration won't it from that first Pre-Kickoff Scenes game he gets his goal of course he does and he'll have more records in his sights as he always seems to have and he'll want to drag the rest of those players with him waiver between the personal goals in the team goals Al majma sports city for this one the home of alire a capacity of 7,000 we're not quite reaching that tonight but plenty in here tonight for one of the biggest draws in the Saudi pro league I think 1st Half him and atavio are going to play a key role lovely run from Ronaldo Ronaldo will get there first [Applause] otavio Talisa might be through here Talisa One n to cut right through the middle of your defense is not something they will have worked on they would have wanted it to be wide but that pass and then just a tiny intelligent bit of interplay between Ronaldo and toisa was enough toisa just let it go he must have had a a shout from Ronaldo and a quick flick around the corner talisco was away couldn't be touched and he just made sure that he reversed it enough to just put it past alil lovely Cris finish in his fourth season at the club now tescar fabulous player with a fabulous goal scoring record that's Now 52 and League goals in 70 Saudi pro league matches is Ronaldo on the ball for al- NASA Al garib St by Al garib and Ronaldo away whether he's on side is another matter he hits the foot of the post anyway up goes the [Applause] flag before al- NASA resume a little bit of control he just poke his arm out a little bit didn't he there Telles [Music] Carby being ushered away and that's probably a good idea seeing as he's already had his name taken he was caught slightly I think he has a point to the referee but I think then his overreaction took away from The Challenge [Music] i' make this the first corner of the evening so far it's Al nasses brovich takes Ronaldo Rises well it was just hung there wasn't it we know when he gets up he can stay there it's just a little bit of pressure on the header from the defender think just did enough to make sure he didn't have a clean look at the goal brovich Talisa Ronaldo Talisa again Ronaldo down goes Talisa that'll be a free kick inside the D for Al nassa yeah he's a little lucky not to have picked a a yellow card for that reaction I mean there's very little in Talisa gets there there is no touch and you can see why he's a frustrated not the only one in consideration here talisco and Tes also standing over it but it is Ronaldo and it's [Applause] in barely a runup but such a familiar story a strike of quality and in so doing moves on to 899 career goals wonderful just Sumptuous the way he just passes this into the net it's as simple as that he doesn't do the big build up he doesn't stand there and puff his cheeks out twice but he does end up celebrating as he always does well have picked up the 2nd Half fact that that goal does take him just one away from an extraordinary tally for club and Country Ronaldo pops it off to brovich mané Ronaldo Mane working in a tight situation samel kabari [Music] khib kib can have another run at [Applause] alire very congested Ronald T gave that everything is Salan Al ganam Mani on by atavio Al ganam Ronaldo couldn't catch it kabari went in with him to stop him getting a clean strike there Cristiano Ronaldo Abdul Raman garib Ronaldo this belief usually is much more accurate from situations such as that well [Music] absolutely [Applause] Ronaldo to te it up for Manu made the run alongside him but the flag has gone up against Ronaldo [Music] talisca it's Ronaldo it's [Music] over that doesn't happen very often well it's a big mistake to start with brzovic wins it back tillis's unselfish and then wow he must think he's offside and talked about that seriousness even Ronaldo joyous free kick he's looking to get through the gaps in the defense there causing enough problems and it's probably just before they broke the month off that's well stolen back by alulim very well covered by maker Al [Music] rashidi that's laying back to Ronaldo [Music] [Applause] [Music] man well Alish oh what a finish blasted home by brovich from the tightest of angles and if there was any doubt about the result there is certainly not now dar it's all down to man still full of running still got that acceleration and that reverse pass to brzovic is brilliant he spots him it goes through the defender's leg brovich takes a touch fakes as if he's probably going to cross it but then the power is what beats alil accuracy and power from [Music] brovich loose touch from Al ganam sakala looking for poselo pela for sakala well they pulled one back a welld deserved consolation no clean sheet to add to the three points for al- NASA one of all the players in the orange of ala the one who got it is the one who deserved it fashion sakala oh he does he's been brilliant all night and there was no way he was going to get beaten at that back post when it was his opportunity to score it was good play from [Music] [Applause] [Music] B mané for Ronaldo caught up under his feet but he's kept it alive [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] here it comes shall see for the present it's Tes or Talisa the two t standing over [Music] this it's Talisa and that is a fine way to finish it all off wow he's outdone Cristiano Ronaldo this is special really he whips that up and over this is right in the top Corner no opportunity for alil he was surprised almost looks easy wasn't always that way the early goal helped them of course final score then Al one al- NASA four
