RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – Al Hilal’s relentless march towards a potential record-breaking season continued with a dominant 3-0 victory over a struggling Al Akhdoud side at the Kingdom Arena. The win maintained their unbeaten run and extended their lead over rivals Al Nassr to a commanding 12 points.
Al Hilal wasted no time asserting their control, with Saleh Alsehri finding the net in the 16th minute. Ruben Neves, the creative engine in midfield, provided the pinpoint cross for Alsehri’s well-placed header. The home side continued to press, and their persistence paid off in the 66th minute when Brazilian forward Malcom produced a moment of magic. Picking up the ball in his half, Malcom slalomed through the Al Akhdoud defense before calmly finishing past the helpless goalkeeper. Aldawsari sealed the victory with a simple tap-in, again set up by the influential Neves.
This comprehensive victory underscores Al Hilal’s remarkable consistency under Jorge Jesus. Their relentless pursuit of perfection has seen them surpass the records of numerous legendary football clubs with their streak of consecutive victories. The question on everyone’s mind is whether they can maintain this momentum and become the latest team to achieve the remarkable feat of an invincible season.
The visitors remain firmly rooted in the relegation zone, and their struggles against top opposition like Al Hilal emphasize the uphill battle they face.
With 8 games remaining, Al Hilal’s destiny seems firmly in their own hands. Their next fixture against Al-Khaleej will provide another stern test as they seek to make history in the Saudi Pro League.
