Hilal, Nasr complete semifinals lineup
By Abdullah Al-Hariri Saudi Gazette
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 02 - 2009

Hilal and Al-Nasr completed the Crown Prince Cup semifinals lineup after securing wins over Al-Wehdah and Al-Ittihad respectively Thursday.
Former Al-Wehdah defender Osmah Al-Hawsawi scored the only goal of the game in the first half to secure the passage for Al-Hilal against Al-Wehdah at the King Abdul Aziz Sports City in Makkah.
Al-Nasr advanced after edging Al-Ittihad 5-3 on penalties. The two sides were level 1-1 before going into the shoot-out.
Riyadh's Al-Hilal will now take on city rival Al-Nasr in the last four clash on Feb. 23, a day before Al-Hazm hosts Al-Shabab in Al-Rass.
In Makkah, host team Al-Wehdah resisted Al-Hilal attacks for 39 minutes before Al-Hawsawi headed a corner kick to the right side of Assaf Al-Qarni.
Al-Hilal was full-strength with Yasser Al-Qahtani, Tariq Al-Taib, Swedish player Christian Wilhelmsson and Romanian Meriel Radoi all in action.
At the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, host team Al-Ittihad dominated the first 15 minutes of the match but failed to take lead due to Al-Nasr's well-organized defense.
In the 13th minute, Brazilian Renato Morais almost put Al-Ittihad in the lead when he picked the ball inside the danger area but the advancing goalkeeper Khaled Radhi denied the Jeddah club the chance.
In the 114th minute, substitute Rayan Bilal put Al-Nasr ahead when he powered the ball to the right side of Zaid. The goal brought Al-Ittihad into action looking for an equalizer while Al-Nasr worked to close all gaps.
Four minutes later, Mohammed Noor drew level the game when he headed the ball to the far right side of Khaled Radhi to take the match into a penalty shoot-out.
Egyptian Hossam Ghaly, Elton, Abdullah Al-Waked, Eder Gaucho and Abdo Barnawi scored for Al-Nasr while Renato Morais, Noor and Saleh Al-Saqri netted for the home side before Emad Meteb shot into the hands of Khaled Radhi. __
