It is the third in a row for Al Hilal, including the King’s Cup. Jorge Jesus’ team beat Al Kholood away without too many worries with a 4-2: former Napoli player Kalidou Koulibaly also scored. Milinkovic Savic and Cancelo were also on the pitch from the start. Thus the Saudi team remains at the top of the table with 15 points. Damac did not recover, losing 1-0 to Al Orubah. A show of strength instead for Al Okhdood, a poker cashed by Al Fateh who remains glued to the bottom of the rankings.
