Al Shabab
Al Shabab started brightly, taking the lead and showing attacking intent with 10 shots, 6 of them on target. They matched Al-Hilal for long spells and managed to find the net three times, but defensive lapses and a lack of control in midfield allowed the visitors to take charge, particularly around the break. Despite a late goal to reduce the deficit, Al Shabab couldn't stem the tide of Al-Hilal's relentless attack.
Key Players

Al-Hilal Saudi FC
Al-Hilal showcased their attacking prowess with five goals, overturning an early deficit and dominating key periods of the match. Their 53% possession and 14 shots reflected a proactive approach, while their ability to score in quick succession—especially with three goals between the 45th and 52nd minutes—demonstrated ruthless efficiency.

Tactical Analysis
Al Shabab lined up in a 4-3-3, looking to press high and attack with width, but their midfield trio struggled to contain Al-Hilal's numbers and movement. Al-Hilal's 4-1-4-1 formation gave them a numerical advantage in midfield, with Rúben Neves anchoring and Milinković-Savić pushing forward to support the attack. The visitors exploited the flanks well, especially in transition, and their ability to overload central areas allowed them to create high-quality chances. Set pieces and quick switches of play were a constant threat, and Al-Hilal's pressing forced errors from the Al Shabab backline. Substitutions on both sides did little to alter the tactical balance, as Al-Hilal maintained control through their midfield structure and game management. Al Shabab's attempts to chase the game left them exposed, and Al-Hilal capitalized with incisive counter-attacks.
Turning Point
The quickfire double from Al-Hilal on the stroke of half-time (45') and immediately after the restart (48') broke Al Shabab's resistance and effectively decided the match.
