Al Hilal secured their place in the semi-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup after a convincing 4-1 victory over Al-Fateh in a quarter-final match held at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Brazilian Malcom Oliveira took the initiative to score the first goal after 21 minutes, before Ruben Neves quickly extended the blue team's lead with a second goal just two minutes later, giving his team a comfortable advantage midway through the first half.

Hassan Timbuktu added the third goal with a precise shot before the end of the first half, sending Al-Hilal to the locker room with a clear 3-0 lead over Al-Fateh's defense, which faced continuous pressure.

At the start of the second half, substitute Marcos Leonardo quickly made his mark by scoring the fourth goal in the 49th minute, confirming Al Hilal's dominance over the course of most of the match.

Al-Fateh tried to reduce the gap in the final minutes, and Matias Vargas succeeded in scoring a consolation goal, benefiting from a pass by Saad Al-Sharafa during stoppage time.

With this victory, Al Hilal joins the other semi-finalists alongside Al Khaleej and Al Ahli, awaiting the fourth team from the match between Al Ittihad and Al Shabab. Al Hilal reached the quarter-finals after eliminating Al Akhdoud with a 1-0 win, while Al Fateh advanced after defeating Al Riyadh with a 2-0 score.
