"Benzema opened the scoring at Ar-Rass Stadium after just nine minutes, capitalising on some pedestrian defending to tap Neves' deflected corner into an open net."
"Sultan Mandash thought he had doubled Al-Hilal's lead when Leonardo's shot crashed off the post and into his path for a simple tap-in, but the goal was swiftly ruled out for offside after a VAR review."
"Neves added gloss to the scoreline in the third minute of stoppage time, finishing coolly from the penalty spot after Mohamed Kanno was felled in the box by Aboubacar Bah."
Al-Hilal secured a 3-0 victory over Al-Hazem, reducing the gap to Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Nassr. Benzema scored first, tapping in from a corner. Leonardo and Mandash combined for the second goal, while Neves sealed the win with a penalty. Al-Hilal dominated the match, achieving 3.24 expected goals compared to Al-Hazem's 1.11. This victory marked Al-Hilal's continued strong performance against Al-Hazem, remaining unbeaten in their last nine encounters.
