Al-Hilal continued its dangerous attacks through Mitrovic and his teammates, but the defense and goalkeeper Marwan Al-Haidari were on time.

Before the 30th minute, a first goal for Al Hilal was scored by Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic after a corner kick taken by Ruben Neves. Defender Khabrani tried to clear it, but it fell on Mitrovic’s head, who placed it brilliantly to the left of the goalkeeper.

The Gulf team tried to adjust the score, but its attacks ended at the feet of the Al Hilal players.

Despite the dangerous Al Hilal attacks in the remaining minutes through Michel, Malcolm and Mitrovic to score a second goal, the defense and goalkeeper Marwan Al-Haidari responded to them, as well as attacks by Al-Khaleej, which Al-Hilal dealt with as it should, to decide the first half with Al-Hilal beating Al-Khaleej with a score of 1_0.

Second half:

The great threat continued through Mitrovic, Malcolm and Michel on the Gulf goal, but the Gulf defense and goalkeeper were on time.

Al-Hilal scored a second goal through Salem Al-Dosari, but the referee canceled it after returning to the mouse technique and stopping for more than 3 minutes to review the game, due to the ball leaving its entire circumference from the field.

Ali Al-Bulaihi, Al Hilal’s defender, blocked a dangerous ball from the Al-Khaljawi team in front of the goal very bravely in the 86th minute.

Dangerous attacks came from the Al-Hilal and Al-Khaljawi sides in the remaining minutes, through Mitrovic, Salem Al-Dosari, and Malcolm for Al-Hilal, and Fabio Martinho for Al-Khaleej, but the goalkeepers and defense responded strongly to them, so the match ended with Al-Hilal’s victory over Al-Khaleej with a score of 1_0.
