However, Al-Hilal team is in the 1st position of the points table. Al-Hilal team did a great performance in today's match.S. Milinković-Savić scored the 1st goal at 39 minutes and S. Al-Dawsari scored the 2nd goal at 45+5 minutes. These two goals were scored before halftime and Al-Hilal team could not score any more goals after halftime.
As usual, Al Hilal players showed their quality in this match. With good play and close chemistry from the Al Hilal players, the final result was very satisfying. Honestly, in my personal opinion, the performance of Al Hilal players seems to continue to improve significantly. Because all of this is proven by not recording a losing record until the middle of this season. So, if you look at Al Hilal's record to date, it looks like the strongest candidate and certain to win the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) this season is Al Hilal. The reason is, its main competitor in the Saudi Arabian League, Al Nasr, is already quite far behind if you look at the point difference. Therefore, it is very likely that Al Hilal will be a strong candidate to win the SPL this season.
And talking about the Al Hilal and Al Etifaq match, especially in the second half. I think in the second half Al Hilal can increase its lead again. Because seeing such high ball control made me think the Al Hilal players could definitely score additional goals. However, it turned out that the Al Hilal players were unable to score additional goals. Perhaps the main factor causing this to happen is because coach Al Ettifaq (Gerard) seems to have changed his players' strategy to play more aggressively on all fronts. In addition, there were many wasted opportunities from Al Hilal. So because of these factors, the final result of the Al Hilal VS Al Ettifaq match ended with a score of 2-0.
