Ronaldo without a title. Al Hilal wins the King of Saudi Arabia Cup

On Friday, May 31st, the final match of the Saudi King's Cup took place. The coveted trophies were contested by the teams Al-Hilal and Al Nassr.

As early as the seventh minute, Al-Hilal surged ahead. Alexander Mitrovic, receiving from Malcolm, inaugurated the scoring in this encounter. Overall, the first half witnessed a rather evenly contested game.

After the interval, the situation remained largely unchanged. Both teams engaged in cautious football, wary of committing errors. On the 56th minute, a rather unpleasant incident occurred for Al Nassr - David Ospina received a red card. However, in the dying moments, Al-Hilal responded in kind - Al-Buleahi was prematurely sent off due to a red card.

Al Nassr capitalized on this and in the 88th minute, Ayman Yahya leveled the score, salvaging his team. The match proceeded into extra time, yet before that, Al-Hilal's defender, Koulibaly, received a second yellow card and was also dismissed.

Al Nassr performed better in extra time, yet they could not accomplish the most crucial task - scoring the winning goal. Once again, a stalemate ensued, leading to a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, Al-Hilal's players proved more precise. The team triumphs, clinching the Saudi King's Cup and achieving the golden double.
