There were two focus battles on the night. Riyadh Crescent faces Jeddah United in the semifinals of the Saudi King's Cup. Riyadh Crescent was knocked out of the AFC Champions League semi-finals as a surprise. However, in the domestic arena, Riyadh Crescent is still very smooth, winning the Saudi Super Cup, and the league firmly occupies the top position. This time, Riyadh Crescent played in the Saudi King's Cup, but they still won the game under very difficult circumstances, and the score of 2-1 allowed Riyadh Crescent to advance to the final.
Hamed scored early in the game, but Riyadh Crescent escaped with an offside whistle. In the 25th minute, Riyadh Crescent scored. Malcolm delivered a beautiful cross ball that was completely cleared by Michael, who had a one-on-one chance to deceive the defender with a feint and then slotted home into the empty net. The goal gave Riyadh Crescent the lead. However, in the 42nd minute, Riyadh Crescent was hit and Milinkovic-Savic was sent off for a foul on a tackle. Riyadh Crescent had to fight with one less man. Jeddah then took advantage of the numerical advantage to equalize. It was Hamed who scored the goal. But in the 81st minute, Riyadh Crescent scored again! Abdulhamid scored a stunning goal! It was incredible! The 10-man Riyadh Crescent completed the stunner and advanced to the final!
Bayern played Real Madrid at home in the first leg of a Champions League semi-final. This is a peak battle with a total value of close to 2 billion euros, which has attracted a lot of attention from fans. It was Real Madrid who scored first in this game. Kroos' through ball gave Vinicius a one-on-one chance, and he calmly slotted home the goal. After that, Sane stepped up and relied on his individual ability to blast home the equaliser. Vazquez sent a penalty and Kane took advantage of the opportunity to score from the spot-out to put Bayern in the lead. I thought Bayern would win the game. Unexpectedly, in the 82nd minute, Kim Min-jae sent a penalty, and Vinicius scored a penalty to complete the equalization. The final score was 2-2!
Bayern didn't win the game in this game, and the number one sinner was Kim Min-jae. Bayern's first goal was lost due to Kim Min-jae's aggressive up-and-down attack, allowing Vinicius to score easily. At the last moment, Kim Min-jae made an aggressive defensive move in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty to the opponent. This is a very fatal mistake. It's hard to imagine Kim Min-jae being the top scorer among central defenders in the Ballon d'Or award before. But his defense was very amateurish. With his performance, will Tuchel dare to use him in the next round?
