Come on, guys, come on, come on.
Work hard, but he's lost out, he wanted the free kick and didn't get it.
Now Mane again, looking to take on Al Fahmy,
who scored their own goal here in the loss the other day.
And what a start!
And it's Joao Felix who gives El Nacer just what they were looking for.
And he's been the man they've looked to in recent weeks,
and he's delivered once again.
Well, you have to say they have started this game with a purpose.
And probably sending the message out as well,
that they're here to mean business.
And a player that has settled into this side very, very well,
Joao Felix, just reacts on something falling to him.
Good comes back at him, but the support here from Brozovic.
And now square to Guriyev, high towards Joao Felix,
and the header is superb!
A second for Joao Felix.
And El Nacer, a two goals up within ten minutes.
And what a message they are sending out to Al Halal
and everybody else in the Roshan Saudi League here.
But it's a rarity, a towering far post header from Joao Felix.
He took the words out of my mouth there, it certainly is a rarity,
but it's a brilliant ball to the far post, and he picks up a really good position.
And then the position he gives himself gives him the option to do that.
And of course their next one is against Al Halal.
Al Halal have three games left.
Ronaldo allows it to bounce, and it drops to Ronaldo!
And the flag is raised.
And Ronaldo is denied his 100th goal by some distance.
Yeah, he was offside there.
Al-Khabari, they've given the ball away again.
Al-Hamami, but he hits it well, and it wasn't too far wide.
Well, Bento was scrambling there.
It's a brilliant attempt there.
Brozovic's numbers have not quite been as good as previous years,
but the delivery there is good, and Mane blazing the ball over the top.
And there was no flag.
Martinez with the head up.
Altao naturally playing Al-Akhli, that will be a really big game for Shamuska's team,
as Carrasco wins it back here.
Brilliant run into the penalty area.
What a goal from Yannick Carrasco.
That is absolutely superb from him.
Power, pace, and a nerveless finish.
And Al Nasser have allowed their hosts back into the game.
Al-Khabari, the player that's been caught.
And Carrasco does so well, because nine times out of ten,
you get pulled like you'll go down.
But he probably feels he's in a position of the pitch
where he can still go and score.
Althani making that challenge, but now he's out of position.
And here is Mane.
He's got Ronaldo waiting, but Balabade with some very good defending
to give away the corner.
Well, he did so well there.
Again, it's Sadio Mane making that run.
Unfortunately, just couldn't get the power and the pace of the corner.
Hamami now.
That's going to be for company as well.
He does have support.
Hadley with the cross.
Carrasco!
Oh, he's hit the crossbar!
Yannick Carrasco with such a clever header.
Almost produced the equaliser.
Oh, what an attempt that was.
Charles Felix.
Mane.
Ronaldo!
Blaise is over the top, but he was offside anyway.
Well, he's been their best player, Sadio Mane, in this game so far,
and it's just a little bit late there.
Allow teams to try and make progress.
Brozovic with the corner kick,
and the header towards goal is behind.
It was Martinez who was challenging.
May have been a double touch off him there,
but it was behind in the end.
There's a much better ball in there from Brozovic
for Martinez to go and attack.
From João Felix, but nothing given.
Hadley with the cross into the near post!
And the overhead kick!
Brilliant save by Bento to deny Brownhill.
That's what they needed to start this second half fast,
and they have done.
Messages look everywhere at the moment at the back,
and that was handled.
None since 2012.
As Mane comes forward here.
Three in the centre, but the cross is lofted over the top
without a deflection,
and it will be a goal kick.
It's a little bit stretched there.
An opportunity here, Azeza.
Yaya not dealing with that.
Althani waits in the centre,
but it's pulled back to Brownhill.
It takes a deflection, and it's behind for a corner.
He had to put it back onto his left foot,
because Carrasco is in acres of space,
and if he could maybe just put his right foot through it.
Nelson now feels that the result is the most important thing.
Carrasco, looking for Azeza!
It's off the post again!
And for the second time, Al-Shabaab hit the woodwork
in search of an equaliser.
This is why the result is the most important thing,
because they are being stretched now.
That's a clever ball, Xao Felix.
Ronaldo wanted it early.
Xao Felix sweeping it wide into the space for Mane.
Mane.
Ronaldo!
100!
Cristiano Ronaldo brings up a century of goals
in the Russian-Saudi League,
and has moved his team to within 90 minutes
of clinching the title.
Well, there's no doubt who's the number one here.
What I said about these opportunities and chances
that Al-Shabaab needed to take,
because as poor as Alnasser have been in this second half,
I talk about quality moments, quality players need that one chance.
Cristiano Ronaldo needs that one chance in this game.
And he's taken it.
Al-Hamdan is warming up, he could be on soon.
Here's an opportunity!
And Al-Balahi has scored!
And the player on loan from Al-Halal
has brought Al-Shabaab back into the game.
When he scores, he always blows up a balloon,
and he's lucky for it there, in fact.
He's pulled out his trading card,
which has Al-Balahi in an Al-Halal shirt,
maybe his shimpa, but he was onside,
and he sets us up for a dramatic finish.
He's definitely onside.
And the player was playing him on.
When you think it's game...
Oh, Hutt just waited on that,
and it's poked forward towards Mane,
and here is Ronaldo!
Side netting, Al-Balahi with the challenge.
Well, I think a goal kick's been given,
Ronaldo not happy about that.
Well, he's frustrated, isn't he?
Because not too often he'll miss a target from there.
I thought it was a really good block.
And it was.
It's the anguish in front.
Xhau Felix away from Balabe.
Carrasco.
Now, what did Carrasco do there?
The referee saw something.
Al-Nasr has gone down,
right in front of the assistant referee.
Mr Fotias has made his decision,
and it's a penalty.
It's Xhau Felix.
It's a hat-trick of hat-tricks for Xhau Felix,
and Al-Nasr are 90 minutes away
from the Roshan Saudi League.
That is it.
What a night.
Ronaldo's 100th goal in the Roshan Saudi League,
and Al-Nasr get the result they need,
although Al-Shabaab pushed them incredibly close.
Yannick Carrasco scored one and hit the crossbar.
He also hit the post in the second.
