1 – 5
“Al Khaleej pulled one back through a headed goal from Saleh Mohammed Fares Al Jaman, briefly threatening to make it a contest at 1-2 with over 50 minutes still to play.”
“Just two minutes after Al Khaleej's consolation, Theo Hernández restored Al Hilal's two-goal cushion, assisted by Mohamed Kanno — the immediate response that killed Al Khaleej's momentum and set off a devastating three-goal flurry.”
Pivotal“Crysencio Summerville made it 4-1 with a right-footed finish, assisted by Rúben Neves, as Al Khaleej's defensive structure completely collapsed in the final minutes of the first half.”
Pivotal“Sultan Mandash capped a stunning seven-minute spell with the fifth goal from a corner, assisted by Summerville, sending Al Hilal into the break with an unassailable lead.”
Pivotal“Musa Barrow saved a second-half penalty, denying Al Khaleej any chance of a face-saving consolation and underscoring Al Hilal's command over every phase of the match.”

Outstanding performance
Al Hilal•AttackerAl Hilal were ruthless and clinical from the first whistle, but it was a frantic seven-minute period between the 38th and 45th minutes that truly defined this contest. Milinkovic-Savic opened the scoring in the 15th minute and doubled the lead in the 29th, before Al Khaleej briefly threatened a comeback when Saleh Mohammed Fares Al Jaman headed home to make it 1-2 at the 38-minute mark. That moment of hope was almost immediately extinguished — within the span of just five minutes, Theo Hernández, Crysencio Summerville, and Sultan Mandash struck in rapid succession to send Al Hilal into half-time at an overwhelming 5-1. The statistics tell the full story of Al Hilal's dominance: 53% possession, 23 shots to Al Khaleej's 12, and seven big chances created against three. Al Khaleej mustered resistance and had 47% of the ball, but their inability to convert moments of pressure — combined with a catastrophic collapse in those final first-half minutes — made the outcome inevitable. For Al Hilal, who sit among the title contenders, this result reinforces their attacking firepower and depth; for Al Khaleej, it is a chastening evening that will demand a swift response.
