Al Hilal secured a 3-2 victory against Al Ittihad at Kingdom Arena, moving to the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. The Riyadh club's recent high-profile acquisitions from the English Premier League—Ollie Watkins, Gabriel Martinelli, and Crysencio Summerville—each contributed a goal to the win. Martinelli initiated the scoring early in the match, followed by a response from Al Ittihad's Youssef En-Nesyri. Watkins restored the lead for Al Hilal before halftime, and Summerville extended the advantage to two goals shortly after the hour mark. Although Steven Bergwijn converted a late penalty for Al Ittihad, Al Hilal successfully maintained their lead until the final whistle. This performance highlights the impact of the club's significant summer investment in their attacking lineup.
