Al-Ahli 3-3 Al-Hilal: Toney leads stunning comeback as hosts recover from three-goal deficit - Soccer News

"Al-Ahli recovered from a three-goal half-time deficit to snatch a sensational point against Al-Hilal, drawing 3-3 at Al Inma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City. Two goals in nine minutes late on from Ivan Toney led the revival, before Merih Demiral sealed a share of the spoils in the first minute of second-half stoppage time. Theo Hernandez opened the scoring for Al-Hilal after just 12 minutes, with the former AC Milan defender collecting Malcom's pass before finishing at Edouard Mendy's near post."

"Toney was able to find a way past Yassine Bounou after he flicked the ball beyond the goalkeeper from Firas Al-Buraikan's low cross, but he was not done there. The England international found the back of the net after being picked out by Riyad Mahrez's pass, and the former Manchester City forward was involved once again, delivering a teasing corner onto the head of Demiral."

"Al-Ahli's comeback ensured they remained level on points with their opponents in the Saudi Pro League, sitting eighth, one place behind Al-Hilal on goal difference.

Theo Hernandez opened for Al-Hilal, Malcom scored twice after contributions from Darwin Nunez and Salem Al Dawsari, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic struck the woodwork. Al-Ahli pressed early in the second half and pulled one back through Toney's flick from Firas Al-Buraikan's cross, with a second Toney strike from Riyad Mahrez setting up Demiral's equaliser. Both clubs remain level on points in the Saudi Pro League. Elsewhere, Al-Qadsiah beat Al-Khaleej 2-1 to top the table after a late winner.
