Al Hilal have achieved a historic victory in the Saudi championship, defeating Al Fateh with a score of 9-0. This is the biggest triumph in the history of the league, equaling the record they had set against Al Hazem last year. With the victory, Al Hilal temporarily took the lead from Karim Benzema and Mario Mitajt's Al Ittihad and also became the first team in the history of football in Saudi Arabia to surpass 1000 goals.
The match, which lasted 112 minutes (with more than 10 minutes of extra time in each half), was a real goal festival for the home team. Kalidou Koulibaly opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and at half-time the score was 4-0. The other goals came from Renan Lodi, Marcos Leonardo and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
In the second half, Marcos Leonardo scored a hat-trick, while other goals came from Al Hamdan, Malcom and an own goal by Al Abdulwahed. Al Fateh, with just 6 points after 15 matches, were unable to cope with the league's most attacking team, Al Hilal, who have now scored 48 goals in 15 matches.
With Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Saudi Arabia to Al Nasr, this league has received a lot of attention, but the Portuguese is still unable to lift his team to the top of the standings, which for the second year in a row is being dominated by Al Hilal. (A2 Televizion)
