Noteworthy Moments:

The match had its fair share of drama, including two red cards shown to Amir Mohammad of Nassaji and Salman Al-Faraj, Al-Hilal’s captain, in the 35th minute. The game resumed after a 13-minute delay as a result of these incidents.

Both teams displayed attacking intent early in the game, with Al-Hilal dominating the proceedings. Despite an early disallowed goal due to an offside decision against Matej Mitrovic, Al-Hilal continued to press for an opening goal.

Mitrovic had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the 12th minute, but Nassaji’s goalkeeper, Rashid Mazaheri, made an incredible save to keep the score level.

Nassaji struggled to create meaningful attacking opportunities until the 24th minute when they orchestrated a well-organized attack that was thwarted by Colibaly’s intervention.

In the 30th minute, the match was temporarily halted due to player confrontations, during which Mitrovic was shown a yellow card. However, the VAR review led to Mitrovic’s red card, and Salman Al-Faraj also received a red card.
