Al-Hilal maintained pressure on Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad with a decisive 4-0 victory against Al-Orubah. Aleksandar Mitrovic initiated the scoring, followed by captain Salem Al Dawsari, who netted a goal himself. Kaio Cesar came off the bench to score twice, including a penalty in the 90th minute. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr also showcased dominance with a staggering 9-0 win over 10-man Al-Okhdood, led by standout performances from Sadio Mane and Jhon Duran. Though Al-Hilal won comfortably, Al-Ittihad remains six points ahead in the title race with only three matches left.
Goalkeeper Paulo Vitor was sent off for a last-man foul on Duran, who subsequently netted his second strike in the 52nd minute in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kaio Cesar came off the bench to score twice late on at the Kingdom Arena, first scoring from the penalty spot in the 90th minute and then adding a second just two minutes later.
Al-Dawsari scored his first hat-trick in the competition against Al-Raed in the last round, and with another goal here, moved to 14 for the season.
The crushing win moved Al-Hilal back within six points of leaders Al-Ittihad, who are in control of the title race with just three games to play.
