Al-Hilal crushes Al Kholood in a resounding 5-2 victory
Buraidah, Saudi Arabia – Al-Hilal Saudi FC dominated Al Kholood in the 5th round of the Saudi Pro League, securing a final score of 5-2. The match, played at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, saw Riyadh’s team establish their dominance, scoring five goals in the first 48 minutes and controlling possession for the majority of the match.
Al-Hilal opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a goal from Koulibaly and continued their offensive pressure with goals from Malcom (43′), Al Bulayhi (45′), and Lodi (48′). Al Kholood managed to pull one back with a goal from Al Hammami in the 71st minute, but their joy was short-lived as Troost-Ekong converted a penalty in the 87th minute to seal the final score.
Despite the defeat, Al Kholood showed a dynamic approach in the second half, venturing into the opponent’s penalty area more frequently and earning a penalty that brought the score to 2-5. However, a lack of accuracy in their attack and Al-Hilal’s superior defense and midfield prevented Buraidah’s team from making a comeback.
Al-Hilal secured their fifth consecutive victory in the Pro League, solidifying their position at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Al Kholood remains in the lower part of the standings.
