"Darwin Nunez played a starring role as Al-Hilal climbed to second in the Saudi Pro League with a 5-0 thrashing of Al-Ettifaq. The former Liverpool striker scored twice and provided an assist, while a Marcos Leonardo brace and Ruben Neves penalty completed the rout at EGO Stadium."
"It was 3-0 within three minutes of the second half, Neves calmly slotting home from the spot after Jack Hendry was penalised for handball. Former Wolves midfielder Neves also played a key role in Al-Hilal's fourth goal on 55 minutes. His free-kick was met by Nunez, who cushioned it for Leonardo to head in his second goal of the game. Nunez then completed his own brace, and the rout, nodding home Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's deep cross at the far post."
Al-Hilal beat Al-Ettifaq 5-0 at EGO Stadium to move up to second in the Saudi Pro League. Marcos Leonardo opened the scoring after his initial effort was blocked, and Malcom then set up Darwin Nunez to make it 2-0 before half-time. Ruben Neves converted a penalty early in the second half, and his free-kick led to Leonardo's second. Nunez headed home a deep cross to complete his brace. Al-Hilal have now gone unbeaten in their last 13 league matches and have won each of their most recent eight.
