Al-Hilal turned a goal down into a thrilling victory over its host Al-Ahli with two goals, in the postponed match from Round 28, which was held on Monday in the Saudi League.
The advantage was very clear for Al-Ahli in the first half, and was translated into an advantage in the result after Firas Al-Braikan scored the first goal in the 30th minute.
But Al Hilal, as usual, did not give up, and was able to come back in the second half thanks to Alexander Mitrovic’s header in the 53rd minute.
In the 88th minute, Malcom scored a goal in the style of Diego Armando Maradona, after he received the ball in the middle of the field, dribbled past Al-Ahli players, and put the ball past Eduardo Mendy.

With this result, Al Hilal needs only one point to officially win the Saudi League title for the nineteenth time in its history.
Al Hilal will face Al-Hazm next Saturday, at the Kingdom Arena, and a draw is enough to declare The Blue Wave winning the title.
It is noteworthy that Al Hilal has not yet suffered any defeat in the Saudi League over the course of 30 rounds, and in the entire season it has only lost to Al Ain 4-2 in the first leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals.
