The most exciting match of week eight of the Arab National Championship ended with a 3-2 victory for Al Hilal over Al Ittihad. The team under the guidance of coach Simone Inzaghi took advantage of the home field at Kingdome Arena to win an important victory over their arch-rival, strengthening their confidence before returning to play in the Asian tournament.
Al Hilal opened the scoring in the 11th minute thanks to the coordination between two English rookies. Ollie Watkins had a pass for Gabriel Martinelli, and the Brazilian did not miss the opportunity to score. However, Youssef En-Nesyri brought the match back to balance in the 22nd minute with an equalizer for Al Ittihad, but this result only lasted 8 minutes. Watkins quickly scored a second time for Al Hilal, giving the home team a 2-1 lead.
Before the first half ended, Watkins had another goal but it was denied by VAR.
