00:00Lucas Ribeiro, Natchez Salas, hoping to provide the point of difference in the final third for the Mamelodi Sundowns.
00:17Chipped forward into the channel there to start with from the Sundowns, straight out for an Al-Ali goal kick.
00:23Clean sheet at home, very important now. Opportunity here, opening up for Matthews, and he puts his shot just across the goal.
00:35Better from Al-Ali, the angled ball, finding the space, just didn't quite get the connection he wanted there, the 24-year-old.
00:46And he's got that clearance all wrong, Al-Ali immediately in possession, shooting from distance but sliced.
00:58Well wide by Atea.
01:07It's a peculiar ball out from the back from Ronwyn Williams, that's to be said.
01:11Conceded a goal since. Oh, and a space at the near post here, and prodded over the bar.
01:21But Granisa...
01:24Well, just as I was saying that neither side yet to concede a goal in the knockout phase, well...
01:30Granisa on-site, finding some space at the near post.
01:34Now Al-Ali can come forwards.
01:39Oh, and space here on the right-hand side for Taher!
01:42Oh, what a strike that is!
01:44Al-Ali in the lead here.
01:46On home turf.
01:48A thumping finish for Mohamed Taher, his second goal of the competition this season.
01:54What a strike.
01:55Absolutely lashed it into the top corner. No chance, Ronwyn Williams.
02:02Yes, beating at his near post, but...
02:05Wow.
02:14First, what you would call real chance as well.
02:16For Al-Ali, apart from the Granisa toe-poke over the crossbar a few minutes ago.
02:23But it suddenly opened up, first touch, bang!
02:26First touch, bang!
02:29Brilliant.
02:31Mohamed Taher, lovely ball through from Ashour as well.
02:35To create the opportunity.
02:38There's the reaction from the coach.
02:48There's the reaction from the coach.
03:01Now coming forwards, just beaten to it in the box.
03:05Medhani with a good tackle there, and he can now start the transition.
03:10The ball pokes out here for Ashour.
03:12Strikes at goal.
03:13Pevitt fended away at the near post, headed back across again,
03:15straight into the hands of Ronwyn Williams.
03:19Attempted crossfield ball, a bit telegraphed and easily cut out.
03:25They do win the ball high up the pitch, and the snapshot comes in,
03:28but it's a weak one, bounces in front of El Shinaran,
03:30easily taken by the Egyptian international.
03:35He's in front of the ball.
03:42Ooh, poor ball there.
03:45Hanni again on the intercept.
03:47Granisa with the shot, tries to curl it into the top corner.
03:50Slightly shanks it.
03:52Does a Slovenian...
03:55It does a Slovenian, just 22 years of age, his first time playing in front of a full house
04:01here at the Cara International Stadium since his January signing.
04:09Well won by Ribeiro. Ribeiro finds support on his outside for Mokowena.
04:15Mokowena!
04:16Well, the cross cut out, and they're going to have to get on with it
04:19to get the corner played before the half-time whistle goes here, the sundowns.
04:25Mokowena goes over to take it, I fear, though, he's going to take too much time over this.
04:42Well played back by Madiba.
04:45I think that's going to be about it for the first half here in Cairo.
04:49And indeed, the referee blows his whistle.
04:55And it's Al-Ali very much in Al-Ali without leaving too much of a gap at the back,
05:03and that's been the issue in the latter part of the first half.
05:09Sundowns winning that ball in the air.
05:11Al-Indeh plays it.
05:14Nice turn, looking for space over on the left-hand side.
05:17Better from the sundowns.
05:21Bit of space on the edge of the area just for a moment.
05:24Needs to put the ball laid off, and the shot comes in spilled!
05:28And the rebound picked up by El Shanawe before
05:31Allende could get in there.
05:35Better from the South Africans.
05:36You can see how packed it is, though.
05:41So many Al-Ali shirts.
05:43Mohamed El-Odi sundowns.
05:44Madiba hanging back the full-back.
05:47Ribeiro cuts inside.
05:48Ribeiro lifts it too far over the bar.
05:51Best chance of the game so far for the visiting side.
05:58Made the space and just lost composure at the vital moment, Ribeiro.
06:03Leant back on that one.
06:07Slashed it miles over.
06:18Behind Rabia.
06:20Coming across to try and close things off.
06:22Oh, nice weighted ball through, and just Ribeiro.
06:25Has the ball taken off his toes?
06:26And then put out the Grand Kikana for an Al-Ali throw.
06:38Let's have another look.
06:41Brilliant tackle on Ribeiro.
06:43Now, the question here will be, certainly, the check completed.
07:06No penalty.
07:07None more so than Yasser Ibrahim.
07:13Now, suddenly, on the attack and on the ball brought down.
07:19Stabbed wide by Teher.
07:21Great first touch.
07:22The second, not so much.
07:24Just a long ball over the top.
07:26Space to run into for Teher.
07:27Lovely chest control.
07:30Didn't get the volley quite right as we hit the midway stage of this second half.
07:34Oh, flicked on at the near post.
07:39Opportunity knocks here, and it's gone in.
07:41Out of nothing.
07:45And would you believe it?
07:49Let's have a look here.
07:53Well, that was at the other end of the pitch.
07:55We don't need to see that.
07:56This is what we need to see here.
07:57The ball flicked on, not cleared.
07:59Oh, and it's an own goal.
08:01Yasser Ibrahim.
08:02Well, is that some poetic justice, I wonder?
08:06The man who looked as if he'd given away a penalty earlier in the second half,
08:12checked on the VAR.
08:16The attempt to clearance from Derrick.
08:18Well blocked as well by Reyners.
08:22And there is the final whistle, finally.
08:24Ten minutes of time added on.
08:25Ten minutes of time added on after the own goal from Yasser Ibrahim.
08:31Completely inadvertent.
08:32Nothing he could do about it, by the way.
08:35He's finished 1-1 here at the Cairo International Stadium.
08:40The Mamanodi Sundowns now unbeaten in their last nine games against Al-Ali.
08:45They go through on the away goals rule.
