Outstanding performance
Al Hilal•MidfielderAl Hilal turned a cagey encounter into a comfortable rout after Al Najma's Nasser Al-Haleel received a straight red card for a professional foul in the 38th minute. The numerical advantage allowed Al Hilal to break the deadlock through Karim Benzema just before halftime, and the French striker doubled his tally in the 81st minute to effectively seal the contest. Malcom and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic added late goals to complete a comprehensive 4-0 victory that reinforces Al Hilal's title credentials, while Al Najma's indiscipline cost them dearly in what had been an even contest until the dismissal.
How entertaining was this match?
