Al Hilal asserted their dominance in the Saudi Pro League by setting a new record for consecutive victories with a 2-0 triumph over Al Ettifaq. Leading the league with a seven-point margin and 59 points from 21 matches, Coach Jorge Jesus' squad displayed their prowess by securing an impressive 14th consecutive win.
This accomplishment surpasses the previous record held by Al Nassr, who had won 13 matches from November 2013 to February 2014. Al Hilal's remarkable form showcases their stronghold on the league title.
The pivotal match saw Sergej Milinkovic-Savic contributing to Al Hilal's success with a header in the 40th minute after a well-executed corner.
Salem Al Dawsari further solidified their lead by netting the second goal from close range in first-half added time. The cohesive teamwork and clinical finishing demonstrated by Al Hilal underscore their excellence on the field, making them a formidable force in the Saudi Pro League.
Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Al Hilal faces a setback as top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic received a yellow card during the match. As a result, Mitrovic will be sidelined for the upcoming clash against defending champions Al Ittihad, adding a layer of challenge for the league leaders as they aim to maintain their winning streak and secure their position at the pinnacle of Saudi football.
