The match witnessed a surprising start with Al-Fayha taking the lead in the 14th minute after Fashion Sakala capitalized on a grave mistake by Al-Hilal's goalkeeper, Mohammed Al-Rubaie, successfully putting his team ahead. Al-Hilal then gradually regained their balance and imposed their control over the course of the game.
The Serbian Sergej Savic succeeded in equalizing for Al-Hilal in a remarkable manner, scoring a double overhead kick goal in the 37th minute. Then, the Portuguese Ruben Neves gave his team the lead with a second goal in the 45th minute, which was mistakenly counted as an own goal by Mosquera, following a clever execution of a set piece that confused Al-Fayha's defense.
In the second half, Al Hilal continued their offensive pressure, with Mohammed Kanno adding the third goal with a powerful header following a precise cross from Ruben Neves. The Brazilian Marcos Leonardo completed the four-goal tally in the 90th minute with an impressive header after a set-piece executed by Neves.
