Al Hilal remain unbeaten

Al Hilal shared points with RB Salzburg.

Al Hilal head into the match with confidence from their impressive opening-day performance, when they forced European giants Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, RB Salzburg are top of Group H after a 2-1 win over Pachuca.

A win against Al Hilal would give the Austrians an early ticket to the next round, creating a big advantage before facing Real Madrid in the final round. However, Al Hilal proved that they are not an easy opponent, with quality players such as Joao Cancelo, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

In the first half, Al Hilal showed their superiority in the game. They controlled the ball up to 62%, overwhelmed RB Salzburg (38%) and launched 10 shots towards the opponent's goal, compared to only 5 shots by Salzburg.

However, a lack of sharpness in finishing prevented Al Hilal from finding a goal in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, Al Hilal continued to maintain the pressure. However, a lack of precision in the final shots of the Saudi Arabian representative caused the match to end in a 0-0 draw.

This result helped Al Hilal gain 1 more point, bringing the total score to 2 after two matches, ranking third in Group H of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Meanwhile, RB Salzburg still holds the second position with 4 points.

With the final match against Pachuca – the team at the bottom of the table – Al Hilal is considered to have a great chance to win and compete for a place in the round of 16. In the context of RB Salzburg facing a huge challenge named Real Madrid, Al Hilal still has a chance to make history.

Although not really satisfied with the draw against Salzburg, Al Hilal's leadership still has the right to be optimistic. They are almost the brightest representative of Asian football at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, when other clubs such as Ulsan Huyndai, Urawa Reds or Al Ain all played badly.
