The Saudi Al-Hilal team achieved a well-deserved victory with three goals to one against its Qatari counterpart Al-Sadd in a match held on Tuesday evening, as part of the third round of the group stage in the elite AFC Champions League.

Al-Hilal started the match with clear attacking strength, as Youssef Akjijik opened the scoring early with a precise pass from Kalidou Koulibaly, who later added the second goal with a wonderful header in the 40th minute.

In the second half, Al-Sadd tried to return to the game, and its striker Roberto Firmino managed to score a goal to reduce the deficit in the 64th minute, temporarily restoring hope for his team.

However, Al-Hilal did not give its opponent a chance to come back, as Sergej Savic sealed the match completely by scoring the third goal in the 81st minute, confirming his team's technical and physical superiority.

In the final minutes, Caio Cesar missed a penalty for Al-Sadd during stoppage time, leaving the score unchanged at three goals to one.

With this victory, Al-Hilal continued to lead the group deservedly, having dominated possession with over 65%, compared to limited attempts from Al-Sadd, which managed only three shots on goal.
