In front of a vociferous home crowd at the King Fahd Stadium, Al Hilal produced a statement performance that may end up punctuating a Saudi Pro League title triumph this season, beating local rival Al-Nassr 3-0 in what had been a hotly anticipated Riyadh derby.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s towering header set Al Hilal on its way in the second half before a late brace from Aleksandar Mitrovic secured victory by a flattering scoreline.
The result means the Saudi Pro League leaders have extended their lead over Al-Nassr at the top of the table to an intimidating seven points.
