The Al Shamal Winds also lost 3-2 at home against Qatar SC. Shamal trailed 2-0 after 50 minutes and late goals from Riyad Mahrez and Tiago Silva couldn’t prevent the defeat.
Al Hilal Often Show Their Quality
Simeone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal are in top form, winning 12 of their last 13 games and scoring 36 goals.
The Blue Waves are on a six-match win streak, including Champions League victories against Al Gharafa 2-1 and Al Sadd 2-0. Ollie Watkins scored first in the Al Sadd victory.
Al Hilal continued that winning run with a 1-0 home triumph against Al Hazem. The Saudi side dominated with 3.12 XG, 63% possession and 21 shots.
Inzaghi’s team also beat Al Qadsiah 3-2 on Friday. Al Hilal had 2.86 XG and Gabriel Martinelli, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic found the net.
