Al-Fayha Club vs Al Hilal

Al Hilal breezed past Al Fayha at Al Majma'ah, riding out to a comfortable 3-0 win. Al Hilal dominated proceedings from the first whistle, racking up 61% possession and 25 shots to Al Fayha's meager eight. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic opened the scoring in the 31st minute, and Sultan Mandash doubled the lead just after the break in the 46th, finishing off a Kalidou Koulibaly assist. Fashion Sakala was booked for the hosts in the 27th minute, and Crysencio Summerville had a chance to put the game beyond doubt but saw his 85th-minute penalty saved. It didn't matter much, as Nasser Al-Dawsari wrapped things up in the 88th minute. The win keeps Al Hilal perfect and firmly atop the early Pro League standings, with Milinkovic-Savic's man-of-the-match showing a reminder of the depth of talent at their disposal. Al Fayha, by contrast, face an early wake-up call about the gulf separating them from the league's giants.
