Al-Shabab 3-5 Al-Hilal: Inzaghi's side back to winning ways with five-star performanceShareAl-Hilal had dropped away from the top of the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks, but they showed their credentials with a big derby win.Al-Hilal got back to winning ways in style as they came from behind to claim a stunning 5-3 victory over Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League.After Josh Brownhill had given the hosts an early lead at SHG Arena, Simone Inzaghi's team fought back to move level on points with second-placed Al-Nassr.Brownhill gave Al-Shabab the lead in the 13th minute after being left in acres of space just inside the box, and he guided Saad Yaslam's pullback into the bottom-right corner.However, Al-Hilal only trailed for six minutes, with Mohamed Kanno swiping a volley into the top-right corner after Al-Shabab had failed to clear a long throw-in.And just after the half-hour mark, a mix-up between Ali Al Bulayhi and Marcelo Grohe saw the defender poke Sergej Milenkovic-Savic's cross into an empty net with the goalkeeper set to collect it.A lovely turn and finish saw Abderrazzaq Hamed-Allah pull Al-Shabab level in the 44th minute, but Kalidou Koulibaly put the visitors back in front just three minutes later, poking in the rebound when Marcos Leonardo's first-time effort was cleared off the line.Within the first seven minutes of the second half, Al-Hilal scored twice; Sultan Mandash powered in their fourth, giving Grohe no chance, with Leonardo's low drive beating him shortly after.Mandash also struck the woodwork as Al-Hilal continued to push, but Al-Shabab's Yacine Adli had the final say, bending a stunning cross from the left wing straight into the net, though it meant little in terms of the result.Elsewhere, Al-Ittihad also got back to winning ways with a 1-0 success against Al-Khaleej that moved them up to fifth in the table, with Danilo Pereira scoring the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute.Data Debrief: Al-Hilal ease the pressure on InzaghiAfter drawing their last two matches in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal had slipped down the table, but they got back to winning ways in style.It was a fairly even game in terms of chances, with Al-Hilal having 14 shots to their hosts' 12, while both sides had seven attempts on target. And they both exceeded their expected goals (xG) figures, with the visitors having 1.76 xG to Al-Shabab's 0.84.It was a third consecutive victory for Al-Hilal over their derby rivals, the first time they have managed such a win against Al-Shabab since between 2015 and 2018 (five wins).Al-Shabab 3-5 Al-Hilal: Inzaghi's side back to winning ways with five-star performanceAl-Hilal had dropped away from the top of the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks, but they showed their credentials with a big derby win.Al-Hilal got back to winning ways in style as they came from behind to claim a stunning 5-3 victory over Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League.After Josh Brownhill had given the hosts an early lead at SHG Arena, Simone Inzaghi's team fought back to move level on points with second-placed Al-Nassr.Brownhill gave Al-Shabab the lead in the 13th minute after being left in acres of space just inside the box, and he guided Saad Yaslam's pullback into the bottom-right corner.However, Al-Hilal only trailed for six minutes, with Mohamed Kanno swiping a volley into the top-right corner after Al-Shabab had failed to clear a long throw-in.And just after the half-hour mark, a mix-up between Ali Al Bulayhi and Marcelo Grohe saw the defender poke Sergej Milenkovic-Savic's cross into an empty net with the goalkeeper set to collect it.A lovely turn and finish saw Abderrazzaq Hamed-Allah pull Al-Shabab level in the 44th minute, but Kalidou Koulibaly put the visitors back in front just three minutes later, poking in the rebound when Marcos Leonardo's first-time effort was cleared off the line.Within the first seven minutes of the second half, Al-Hilal scored twice; Sultan Mandash powered in their fourth, giving Grohe no chance, with Leonardo's low drive beating him shortly after.Mandash also struck the woodwork as Al-Hilal continued to push, but Al-Shabab's Yacine Adli had the final say, bending a stunning cross from the left wing straight into the net, though it meant little in terms of the result.Elsewhere, Al-Ittihad also got back to winning ways with a 1-0 success against Al-Khaleej that moved them up to fifth in the table, with Danilo Pereira scoring the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute.Data Debrief: Al-Hilal ease the pressure on InzaghiAfter drawing their last two matches in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal had slipped down the table, but they got back to winning ways in style.It was a fairly even game in terms of chances, with Al-Hilal having 14 shots to their hosts' 12, while both sides had seven attempts on target.
