Saudi League harvest: Al-Hilal wins against Al-Ittihad, and Al-Hazm thwarts Al-Nasr

Al-Hilal team took an important step towards regaining the Saudi Football League title after coming from a goal down to a three-goal win over defending champion Al-Ittihad in the twenty-second round of the competition, which witnessed Al-Nasr stumble in a 4-4 draw with Al-Hazm.

Al-Ahly also stumbled by tying with Al-Fateh 1-1, and the confrontation between Al-Taawoun, the fourth-placed club, with Al-Wahda ended 3-3, and the 0-0 goalless draw also overshadowed the atmosphere of the match that brought together Al-Khaleej and Al-Shabab, while Al-Ettifaq won over Damak 2-0, and Riyadh over Al-Ukhdood 2-1, Abha beat Al-Taei 2-0, and Al-Fayhaa beat Al-Raed 2-1.
