Cristiano Ronaldo & Sadio Mané SHINE in an INTENSE SEMI-FINAL! 🔥

Thank you. Brief greeting between those two Hockey players lining up for that. Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the armband. What he had to do and he didn't have to do an awful lot at all. Robin Teehee, Finnish defender. Ronaldo to Mane on this near side. Checks back. Mane's through. A good save. Looked there as though Mane was in an offside position. But nothing was given. Yesane felt he was fouled. Mane's through again. Lays the ball back to Brozovic. Who gets the shot in. Blocked by Teehee. Mane again. Does well there. Lead out to the far side by Dumbria. Exposito is down. What's the referee doing here? Oh, he's given a yellow card. Armband. Scored one goal in the competition this season. That was in the quarter-final. Oh, and Bento's saved. Look at the spot kick now. It was struck reasonably firmly. It was well within the compass of the goalkeeper. Exposito, the man fouled. And at the other end now. Xao Felix lays the ball back. And it was Koeman coming in across the six-yard box. Xao Felix. Mane. Angelo with a cutback. Shot from Ronaldo. And now here's an opportunity for Angelo to cut the ball back. He does well to keep that in on this near side. Mazey run from him. Gets the shot in and scores. Oh, yes. That's a fantastic finish. It really is. Well, they've missed a penalty. But they've found the back of the net now. Siku Yasane with the finish. With his left foot right into the corner. That was a fantastic goal. It really was. All his own work. And now at the other end. Angelo's through. Cuts the ball back. And Koeman scores. It's 1-1. What a match this is. That lead lasting less than 60 seconds. Not for the first. Ball out to Martinez. Mane. Inside to Ronaldo. Who's come deep to receive. Yasane not able to do so. And there's room now for Mane. Full of bloodied stuff in the middle of the pitch. Referee says play on. Here's an opportunity and here's a goal. It's Koeman again. And it's 2-1. This match goes from good to better. Oh, yes. They're not happy. The Al-Ali players. They feel there was a foul in the build-up. What's the referee going to decide here? No goal. I think that's fair enough too. It's a freak. Then potentially we have penalties. It's a long way in the future though. Mane looks to move away again on this left-hand side. Felix out to Mane. Tihi to run to. In the end, he was looking for Angelo. Couldn't find him. Mane is now in a central position. Oh, yes. What a lovely finish that was by Angelo. Mane had drifted infield. Picked up the loose ball after it was given away rather carelessly by Al-Ali on that far side. He fed Angelo. What a great first-time finish that was. Emery with the long clearance as Ronaldo stayed onside. Mane sees an opportunity to go to the... In the last couple of minutes he's just subsided a fraction. Hardly surprising given the breathless nature of the beginning of this encounter. Mane again. He's seen an awful lot of the ball in these early stages. Ronaldo. Back to Angelo. Koeman just having to check his run there. Mane. Angelo. Looking to go outside. No joy there. Lovely movement though by the Alnasser players. Ronaldo. Screening the offside trap. Flicked for Koeman. Just hesitated with his cross. Just looking for the perfect... His was the... Pressure continuing. Alnasser come again. Mane once more. Finds Angelo. Gets the crossover once more and it's ricocheted offside. Felix. And it's gone behind for a corner. Great entertainment we've had in this first half though. Here's the possession statistics in the top left-hand corner of your screen. Mane does well. Mane picks up the scraps. Good control by... Number 79. Joe Felix. Lost the ball in. Over the head of Ronaldo. Mane can pick up the scraps. Mane. Good run from him. Gets the crossover. Good work Pines. Angelo out to Mane. Angelo once more. Loses from Tiki. Tiki with his run. Koeman will cut inside. Draxler with the run on goal. And he's through. Oh what a great effort from Draxler. And a superb bit of defending from Al-Amri. It looked certain that it was going to be 2-2. Mane. Into the area. Going for the return. Felix. Turn of pace from him. Finds Buchal. He can measure across and does so. And it's just over. The result is we've seen some tremendous entertainment. Mane. Lovely delivery. So close to a third goal for Al-Nasr. Joe Felix whips the ball over again. Yes. It's in. And it's Koeman. So now Al-Nasr have some breathing space. Right at the end of this first half. Joe Felix the provider. To semi-final in the West region. It's Al-Nasr of Saudi Arabia against Al-Ali Doha of Qatar. And Al-Nasr 3-1 up. At the half time interval. But that really doesn't tell anywhere near the whole story of the match. Al-Nasr's goals from Kingsley Koeman. Angelo. To Ronaldo who's over the top. He's frustrated. He had to take it first time. It was coming across at pace. It's for Al-Nasr while you were watching that replay. It was Buchal who raced through. And Ronaldo couldn't apply the finishing touch. The Al-Nasr fans animated. Felix looking for the run of Ronaldo. Mane. Up against Tihi. Koeman. Buchal. Lays the ball back again. And at this time it's Ekong Troost. Possessed. Mane forward. Good defensive work from Amraoui. He was up and about. To the head. Mane again. Lays the ball back to Koeman. Jinking run from him. Good skill from Koeman. Time for Ronaldo. He's got Mane outside him. Ronaldo. You can see Koeman absolutely in the way of the goalkeeper. Certainly interfering with play. All the same. Tremendous block by Amraoui. Flick inside by Diallo. But to no one in particular. White shirt again. Amraoui is in there. And off the post. Mane. So Vlappen couldn't pick them out. But have a look at that from Mane. What a strike. Buchal. Ronaldo. He's got Mane outside him. Needed the earlier ball. Mane can he make something of it? Yes he can. He can get the shot in. Good block from Ekong Troost. Inside to the substitute. Mane's shot that was blocked. It's on the ball again now. Inside to Angelo. Koeman. He's into the area. Gets his shot in and scores. I think he's got cramp as a result of that. But he won't care. Because he's given his side a three goal advantage. And that's a hat trick for Kingsley Koeman. Goalkeeper in all fairness. Mente gathered it. Just over the hour gone then. On then. He came on as a substitute in the quarter final too. One goal in this year's competition. Alganam. Mane wins possession and gets the ball through to Ronaldo. He's through on goal. The flag's gone up though. Previously known as the AFC Cup. Ronaldo with the flick on. Can't find out. In the 96. Another free kick. Tihi again. Most of it. Getting to these semi finals. As Mane is pulled back. Tihi the man. Came on as a substitute in the quarter final. And had 11 minutes then. Here's Mane. Up against Tihi. Ronaldo. Angelo. Leaving that for Martinez. And tackling back. Ronaldo. A bit frustrated. Couldn't find the back of the net. Run from him. And it's number 5. For Al Nasser. Abdullah Al Hamdan. He's only been on the pitch for a couple of minutes. And he's found the back of the net. Created though. By Angelo. Good work. On the left hand side. In place of Draxler. That man there. Jansani scored. After 11 minutes.
