Al-Hilal Defeats Al-Nassr 5-4 on Penalties
Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal battled past Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr 5-4 in a penalty shootout on Friday to win the Saudi Cup and claim the domestic double.
The match was tied 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra time, with both teams having chances to win the game in regulation. Al-Hilal ultimately prevailed in the shootout, with all five of their penalty takers converting.
Al-Hilal's victory is their second major trophy of the season, having previously won the league title. They will now turn their attention to the AFC Champions League, where they are aiming to win their third title in four years.
Al-Hilal Dominates Head-to-Head Record
