"After Josh Brownhill had given the hosts an early lead at SHG Arena, Simone Inzaghi's team fought back to move level on points with second-placed Al-Nassr. Brownhill gave Al-Shabab the lead in the 13th minute after being left in acres of space just inside the box, and he guided Saad Yaslam's pullback into the bottom-right corner."
"Within the first seven minutes of the second half, Al-Hilal scored twice; Sultan Mandash powered in their fourth, giving Grohe no chance, with Leonardo's low drive beating him shortly after. Mandash also struck the woodwork as Al-Hilal continued to push, but Al-Shabab's Yacine Adli had the final say, bending a stunning cross from the left wing straight into the net."
"A lovely turn and finish saw Abderrazzaq Hamed-Allah pull Al-Shabab level in the 44th minute, but Kalidou Koulibaly put the visitors back in front just three minutes later, poking in the rebound when Marcos Leonardo's first-time effort was cleared off the line."
Al-Hilal secured a dramatic 5-3 victory over Al-Shabab at SHG Arena, recovering from an early deficit to claim three crucial points. Al-Shabab took the lead through Josh Brownhill in the 13th minute, but Al-Hilal equalized within six minutes via Mohamed Kanno's volley. A defensive error led to Sergej Milenkovic-Savic's goal, before Abderrazzaq Hamed-Allah leveled for Al-Shabab. Kalidou Koulibaly restored Al-Hilal's advantage, and the visitors dominated the second half with goals from Sultan Mandash and Marcos Leonardo. Yacine Adli scored a consolation goal for Al-Shabab. The victory moved Al-Hilal level on points with Al-Nassr and eased pressure on manager Simone Inzaghi following two consecutive draws.
