Al-Hilal snatched an exciting victory from its host Al-Fayhaa, with a score of 2-0, in the nineteenth round of the 2024 Saudi League.
The Blue Wave missed a barrage of opportunities throughout the two halves, until Ali Al-Bulaihi succeeded in scoring the goal in the 86th minute.
In the 101st minute, Alexander Mitrovic scored the match-killing goal from a penalty kick, thus continuing his pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of top scorer in the Roshen League.
Don tops the list of scorers with 19 goals, and with Mitrovic's goal, the Serbian reached his 17th goal this season in the blue jersey in the league.
It is noteworthy that the victory over Al-Fayhaa is the 19th successive victory for Al-Hilal in all tournaments, since its draw with the same team in the first round of the Saudi League.
In total, Al Hilal played 27 matches in all tournaments, during which it did not suffer any defeat, tied only 3 times and won the rest of the matches.
The Blue Wave's tally of points rose to 53 in first place, temporarily raising the difference with the closest pursuers, Al-Nasr, to 10 points before Ronaldo's teammates play tomorrow's match with Al-Taawoun.
