Malcom The Hero as Brazilian Fires Al Hilal to Win Over Al Ahli and A Giant Step Toward the Saudi Pro League Title

Al Hilal produced the goods when it mattered. They came from behind to overcome a spirited Al Ahli side and claim the three points they need to keep their unbeaten run going and, most importantly, stay on track to claiming the Saudi Pro League title.

Malcom grabbed a sensational solo goal, the winner, for Al Hilal to cap a come-from-behind win for the Saudi Pro League leaders.
In an exciting match, Al Hilal crafted their first chance of the game within the first minute in a statement of intent and a sign of the frenetic pace that the match would then be played.

The two sides went into the match looking for a win. Al Ahli needed to win and keep their chance of finishing in the top three to ensure they qualified for next season’s AFC Champions League. Al Hilal looked to keep their title charge running hot as they bid to wrap it up sooner rather than later.

The match showcased the emerging quality in the Saudi Pro League. Although Al Hilal have been dominant this season, Al Ahli showed that this will unlikely be a one-team show next season. They have Jorge Jesus’ men a run for their money, pushing them all the way.

In the end, though, the quality and confidence coursing through Al Hilal showed. Malcolm, who has stepped up with regularity in recent matches when Al Hilal missed Mitrovic and Neymar in attack, showed his quality with a slaloming run and goal to cap an impressive comeback for Jurge Jesus’ men.

Al Hilal are now within one point of wrapping up the Saudi Pro League title after their hard-fought win against Al Ahli.
