The referee goes to the monitor and the replay clearly shows that Damac skipper Al-Nakhli blocked that with his arm. A good slice of the crowd have exactly what they came to see and join in with the "SIUUUUUU!!!" My word, Hamzi almost pulls off an incredible response for Damac, controlling on his chest and launching a stunning overhead kick that bounces to safety off the bar. Halftime: The whistle goes and there's a weird combination of loud adulation for Ronaldo's exploits and ferocious boos from those who would like to see the home team putting up a much better fight. Ronaldo subjected his teammates to a lengthy and impassioned team talk in the tunnel before they re-emerged. He gets the ball stuck under his feet a bit and Al-Nakhli scrambles it behind for a corner. Ronaldo drives in a free-kick from the left and the luckless Masharipov guides his header against the crossbar. Rudi Garcia's men go top of the table, two points clear of Al Ittihad, and you feel like it will really take something to shift them.
