In a clip that has quickly drawn attention across Saudi Arabian football, Al-Hilal winger Mutaib Al-Harbi has demonstrated clinical finishing ability by achieving what his international teammate Salem Al-Dosari could not. The brief yet telling video shows
Al-Hilal stormed into a 2–0 lead inside ten minutes against Al-Khaloud, asserting their authority from the first whistle at the state-of-the-art Kingdom Arena.
Al-Khaloud, making the trip to the Kingdom Arena for Matchday 29 of the Saudi Pro League, found themselves immediately on the back foot.
The match began at a frenetic pace, and within two minutes Salem Al-Dossari wasted a golden opportunity to give Al-Hilal the lead, firing a powerful shot wide of goalkeeper Juan Cuzani’s goal.

Saudi Al-Hilal star wanted in the Italian league
The hosts wasted little time in striking first blood: in the seventh minute, Muteb Al-Harbi collected a perfectly weighted pass from Sergej Milinković-Savić and slotted the ball beyond the advancing goalkeeper to make it 1–0.
Al-Hilal gave their visitors little time to breathe, and two minutes later French striker Karim Benzema doubled the lead, finishing calmly after another well-weighted through ball to make it 2–0 inside the opening ten minutes.
The Frenchman then completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot in the 31st minute, sending the home support into raptures and effectively sealing the contest before the interval. In summary, the Blues’ clinical finishing and swift movement exposed the visitors’ frailties, underlining why they remain strong contenders for silverware this season. Benitez will now focus on fine-tuning his side’s defensive solidity, while the medical team continues to monitor the fitness of his star striker. For now, Saudi fans can savour a statement victory that reminds rivals of their formidable firepower.
