Al Hilal crush Ronaldo's Al Nassr 4-1 to clinch Saudi Super Cup

Al Hilal secured the Saudi Super Cup trophy by overcoming an early deficit to defeat Al Nassr 4-1 on Saturday, with all four goals being scored in a commanding second half performance.

Cristiano Ronaldo netted Al Nassr’s solitary goal just before halftime, capitalizing on an excellent pass from Abd El Rahaman Ghareeb during a first half that featured limited scoring opportunities.

Following the break, Al Hilal asserted their dominance, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Malcom each contributing to the scoreline.

Milinkovic-Savic equalized in the 55th minute after a series of passes with Mitrovic, unleashing a powerful shot into the net of Al Nassr.

Al Hilal took the lead eight minutes later when Mitrovic connected with a precise cross from Ruben Neves, heading the ball in from close range.

The Serbian forward further increased Al Hilal’s advantage in the 69th minute, receiving a pass from Malcom and striking the ball directly into the net.

Malcom then capped off the scoring for Al Hilal just three minutes later, capitalizing on a mistake by Al Nassr goalkeeper Pinto, who failed to control a pass from Aymeric Laporte, allowing Malcom to easily find the back of the net.

This victory marks Al Hilal's second consecutive title and the fifth in their history, solidifying their status as the most successful team in the competition, leading Al Nassr by three titles.
