Al-Hilal crush Ronaldo's Al-Nassr 4-1 to clinch Saudi Super Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo scored Al-Nassr’s only goal a minute before the end of the first half, in which there were few chances when he capitalised on a wonderful pass from Abd El Rahaman Ghareeb.
Al-Hilal dominated after the interval with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Malcom taking it in turns to score to make the victory secure.
Milinkovic-Savic scored the equaliser in the 55th minute after exchanging passes with Mitrovic, firing a powerful shot into Al-Nassr's net.
Al-Hilal took the lead eight minutes later when Mitrovic rose to meet a perfect cross from Ruben Neves and headed the ball in from close range.
The Serbian striker then extended Al-Hilal’s lead when he received a pass from Brazilian Malcom in the 69th minute and fired the ball straight into the net.
The Brazilian striker scored Al-Hilal’s fourth goal three minutes later when he took advantage of Al-Nassr goalkeeper Pinto’s error in controlling the ball after a pass from Aymeric Laporte to fire it home with ease.
Al-Hilal won the title for the second time in a row and the fifth time in their history and remain the most successful team in the championship, three titles ahead of Al-Nassr.
