Al Hilal drew with Al-Ittifaq, and the match ended 1-1. That was an unexpected result for the Al Hilal fans. Joao Costa got the lead, but Malcom leveled it in the 57th minute. After that, none of the team was able to score. Al Hilal had a 68% possession in this match and I thought they should have scored more.
Al Hilal was a way better team. They are having 58 points while Al-Ittifaq only had 27 points. Still it was a good play by Al-Ittifaq.
This draw of Al Hilal gives Al Nassr a chance to reduce difference with Al Hilal to only one point. It's first time they will be very closely to Al Hilal after many months but unfortunately both of them are no longer able to compete for Saudi Professional League title this season because it already in hands of Al Ittihad with 7 points more than Al Hilal.Al Hilal was a way better team. They are having 58 points while Al-Ittifaq only had 27 points. Still it was a good play by Al-Ittifaq.
If Al Nassr can get a second position and finish this season as a runner-up, it will be a small achievement for them, after beginning this season so bad and falling too far behind both Al Ittihad and Al Hilal months ago.
