Italian Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Al-Hilal, acknowledged the difficulty of the match against Al-Taawoun, asserting that his team deserved to win despite the game ending in a draw.

Inzaghi explained during the press conference that his players tried to impose their character, but a lapse in concentration at certain times cost them two goals, one of which came from a set piece.

He pointed out that Al-Hilal is indeed struggling with handling set pieces, which the opponent clearly exploited during the match.

The Al-Hilal coach affirmed that the team is still capable of returning to the league race, despite the widening gap with the leader, emphasizing the need to quickly correct mistakes.

He added that the absences significantly affected the team's performance, especially given the lack of several key players, which made the task more difficult for the available group.

On the other hand, Brazilian Pericles Chamusca, the coach of Al-Taawoun, revealed the behind-the-scenes of the draw, confirming that his team entered the match with the aim of winning despite the difficulty of the opponent.

Shamuska explained that the coaching staff focused heavily on set-pieces and crosses during training, which was reflected in the scoring of goals in the match.

He pointed out that his team relied on a detailed analysis of Al Hilal's performance, identifying a flaw in their defensive organization and exploiting it during the match.

He added that the cooperation also succeeded in creating opportunities through counterattacks, and could have scored additional goals if not for some details.

Shamuska concluded his remarks by emphasizing the recent development of his team, noting that Al-Hilal has the capabilities to make a strong comeback despite the absences that have affected it.
