Al-Hilal achieved a victory that has become common during the current season over its host, Al-Ittihad, to qualify for the final of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.

Al-Hilal qualified for the King’s Cup final after defeating Al-Ittihad by two goals to one, in an exciting classic held at the Radiant Jewel Stadium, the stronghold of Al-Ameed, as part of the semi-final competitions.

Al-Hilal thus set a date in the final match with the qualifier from the match between Al-Nasr and Al-Khaleej, which will be held on Wednesday in the second semi-final.

Al-Ittihad entered the match with Al-Hilal with full force in order to break its knot with them during the current season, during which it lost 6 matches (including two matches in the league, the same in the AFC Champions League, and a match in the Saudi Super Cup, and the same in the King Salman Champions Club Cup).

Al-Ittihad's early pressure resulted in Abdul Razzaq Hamdallah's goal in the eighth minute, when he took advantage of an accidental pass from Al Hilal defender Kalidou Koulibaly, but the video assistant referee ruled it out for offside.

Contrary to the trend, Michel Delgado opened the scoring for Al Hilal in the 25th minute after wonderful teamwork and an exchange of passes between Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Malcolm, who sent a pass to Aleksandar Mitrovic, who passed it to Michel, who dribbled past Al-Ittihad goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Mayouf and shot into the net.

The referee canceled a second goal for Al Hilal scored by Malcolm in the 35th minute due to offside at the beginning of the game, before Al-Zaeem suffered a severe blow by expelling its midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the 42nd minute due to a violent intervention on the foot of Ahmed Al-Ghamdi, the Al-Ittihad player.

Hamdallah, the Al-Ittihad striker, wasted a dangerous opportunity in the seventh minute of stoppage time for the first half when he shot from a one-on-one position, but it strangely passed near the goal. Then N’Golo Kante fired a shot from the edge of the part area in the 17th minute of stoppage time.< /p>

After multiple attempts, Hamdallah was finally able to equalize in the 67th minute, when he received a cross pass from Al-Ghamdi and narrowly put it past his compatriot Yassin Bounou, Al Hilal’s goalkeeper.

Then Al-Ittihad wasted several chances to score, and Saud Abdul Hamid punished them by scoring the second goal from a quick counterattack 9 minutes before the end of the match’s regular time, putting Al-Hilal in the final.

Al-Hilal now has the opportunity to achieve a local hat-trick during the current season, after winning the Saudi Super Cup title, being close to winning the Saudi Professional League, and reaching the final of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.
