The Matchup
Al-Taawoun 0-6 Al-Hilal was the final score at Al-Taawoun Stadium, in a game where Al-Hilal did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 45% in favour of Al-Taawoun, Al-Hilal made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 15 attempts from Al-Taawoun against 20 from Al-Hilal over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Al-Hilal, and Al-Taawoun pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
