History has been made in the Saudi Pro League! Al Hilal secured a stunning 9-0 victory over Al Fateh, marking the largest margin of victory in the league’s history. This result, achieved in matchday 15 of the competition, is now etched in the record books, matching the club’s own impressive 2024 win over Al Hazm.
Under the management of Jorge Jesús, Al Hilal asserted their dominance and reaffirmed their leadership in the league with an overwhelming performance. This victory is crucial in their ongoing battle with Al Ittihad for the top spot in the standings, with just a three-point gap separating the two clubs.
The match began with a relatively balanced start, but it didn’t take long for Al Hilal to assert their superiority. Kalidou Koulibaly opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and by halftime, the team was already 4-0 up, with goals from Renan Lodi, Marcos Leonardo, and Milinkovic-Savic.
The second half saw Al Hilal continue their ruthless attack, with Marcos Leonardo scoring a hat-trick at just 21 years old, marking an incredible achievement in his young career. The forward, who joined Al Hilal from Benfica in September for €40 million, netted two goals in the second half to complete his first-ever hat-trick with the club.
The demolition continued with additional goals from Al Hamdan, Malcolm, and even an own goal from Al Abdulwahed, making the final score a staggering 9-0.
With this monumental win, Al Hilal now has 40 points, three points ahead of Al Ittihad, who will face Al Raed this Thursday. Al Hilal is now in a commanding position to defend their league title.
This result not only sets a new record in the Saudi Pro League but also reinforces Al Hilal‘s unstoppable march toward maintaining their dominance in Saudi football.
