ShareDespite a late goal from Mateo Retegui, Al-Hilal were able to hold on for all three points against Al-Qadsiah to go top of the league.Al-Hilal moved to the top of the Saudi Pro League with a 3-2 victory over Al-Qadsiah at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium.Gabriel Martinelli, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic were on the scoresheet for the visitors, who had to hold on during a nervy finish after Mateo Retegui halved Al-Qadsiah's deficit late on.Al-Hilal were ahead after 21 minutes as Ollie Watkins raced onto a long ball from midfield and squared to Martinelli, who saw his shot with the outside of his right boot deflect past Koen Casteels.However, the hosts restored parity just after the half-hour mark through Julian Quinones after he headed Musab Al Juwayr's lofted pass into the bottom-left corner, leaving Yassine Bounou with no chance of saving it.Watkins and Crysencio Summerville both tested Casteels after the break, but it was Neves who scored the go-ahead goal in the 77th minute as Milinkovic-Savic teed the Portuguese midfielder up for a curling finish from outside the box.Milinkovic-Savic then went from provider to scorer seven minutes later as he fired in from Sultan Mandash's cut-back, rendering Retegui's glancing header from Tijjani Reijnders' free-kick a consolation.Al-Hilal's stars shine brightAl-Nassr placed pressure on both Al-Hilal and Al-Qadsiah earlier on Friday after defeating Al-Faysaly, but the visitors took their opportunity to go top of the pack, and did so with more dominance than the scoreline suggests.Al-Hilal accumulated 2.84 expected goals (xG) from 19 shots to Al-Qadsiah's 0.68 from 14 attempts, with Martinelli and Theo Hernandez (both four) leading the way in shots, while Watkins recorded the most xG (1.09).Milinkovic-Savic created the most chances for Al-Hilal (five), Watkins completed 100% of passes (19/19) while creating three chances, and Summerville won eight of his 12 duels as Al-Hilal worked hard for their win.Al-Qadsiah forward duo of Quinones and Retegui both got on the scoresheet, with the latter scoring the second-most goals in the league this season (seven), but Brendan Rodgers will know his side must perform better against their title competitors if they are to win the league.Despite a late goal from Mateo Retegui, Al-Hilal were able to hold on for all three points against Al-Qadsiah to go top of the league.Al-Hilal moved to the top of the Saudi Pro League with a 3-2 victory over Al-Qadsiah at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium.Gabriel Martinelli, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic were on the scoresheet for the visitors, who had to hold on during a nervy finish after Mateo Retegui halved Al-Qadsiah's deficit late on.Al-Hilal were ahead after 21 minutes as Ollie Watkins raced onto a long ball from midfield and squared to Martinelli, who saw his shot with the outside of his right boot deflect past Koen Casteels.However, the hosts restored parity just after the half-hour mark through Julian Quinones after he headed Musab Al Juwayr's lofted pass into the bottom-left corner, leaving Yassine Bounou with no chance of saving it.Watkins and Crysencio Summerville both tested Casteels after the break, but it was Neves who scored the go-ahead goal in the 77th minute as Milinkovic-Savic teed the Portuguese midfielder up for a curling finish from outside the box.Milinkovic-Savic then went from provider to scorer seven minutes later as he fired in from Sultan Mandash's cut-back, rendering Retegui's glancing header from Tijjani Reijnders' free-kick a consolation.Al-Hilal's stars shine brightAl-Nassr placed pressure on both Al-Hilal and Al-Qadsiah earlier on Friday after defeating Al-Faysaly, but the visitors took their opportunity to go top of the pack, and did so with more dominance than the scoreline suggests.Al-Hilal accumulated 2.84 expected goals (xG) from 19 shots to Al-Qadsiah's 0.68 from 14 attempts, with Martinelli and Theo Hernandez (both four) leading the way in shots, while Watkins recorded the most xG (1.09).Milinkovic-Savic created the most chances for Al-Hilal (five), Watkins completed 100% of passes (19/19) while creating three chances, and Summerville won eight of his 12 duels as Al-Hilal worked hard for their win.Al-Qadsiah forward duo of Quinones and Retegui both got on the scoresheet, with the latter scoring the second-most goals in the league this season (seven), but Brendan Rodgers will know his side must perform better against their title competitors if they are to win the league.
