Al Hilal's perfect start to the current Saudi Pro League season concluded on Monday following a 2-0 loss to Neom at Kingdom Arena. This defeat marks the first league loss for manager Simone Inzaghi since his appointment in the summer of 2025, effectively terminating the club's impressive 47-match unbeaten sequence. Despite fielding a strong attacking lineup, the team failed to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities throughout the match, while Neom's goalkeeper delivered a standout performance. Inzaghi publicly accepted full responsibility for the result, suggesting that the setback may serve as a necessary reality check for his squad after their recent run of success.
