Saudi Al-Hilal Claims Super Cup Title After Thrashing Al-Nassr

Saudi Al-Hilal defeated their rivals Al-Nassr 4-1 on Saturday in the Saudi Super Cup final to clinch the title against Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates. Ronaldo opened the scoring just before the end of the first half, following up on a ball in the net after a significant effort from his teammate Abdulrahman Ghareeb. However, the "leader" Al-Hilal struck back powerfully in the second half. Serbian Sergej Milinković-Savić scored the equalizer for Al-Hilal in the 55th minute, followed by his compatriot Aleksandar Mitrović who netted the second goal in the 63rd minute. Mitrović then scored his second and Al-Hilal's third goal in the 69th minute. Brazilian Malcolm de Oliveira capitalized on a mistake from Al-Nassr's goalkeeper to score the fourth goal. With this result, Ronaldo fails to secure his first official title with the Saudi team in his third season with Al-Nassr.
