Sudan Events – Agencies

Al-Hilal turned its deficit against its guest, Al-Ittihad Jeddah, into a valuable 3-1 victory, in the El Clásico match that was held on Friday at the Kingdom Arena, at the top of the 22nd round of the Saudi Professional League.
The “Dean” took the lead first with a goal by N’Golo Kante in the 12th minute, but the leader responded with a hat-trick by Saleh Al-Shehri, Malcolm Oliveira, and Saud Abdul Hamid (39, 59, and 67).
Al-Hilal moved away from the top of the Saudi League standings with 62 points, expanding the gap with Al-Nasr to 9 points, after Al-Alamy stumbled in a draw with Al-Hazm on Thursday.
While Al-Ittihad’s balance, which entered the match burdened with absences, froze at 37 points in fifth place, failing to break into the semi-finals, as it rejected Al-Wahda’s gift, which disrupted Al-Taawoun, fourth with 39 points, by drawing with them.
