The full time whistle blows and it is Al Hilal who have won the match comfortably. Two first half goals from Malcom and Salem Al-Dawsari was enough for them, who stay unbeaten in the league and now have 10 points after four matches. Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq were decent after the break but didn't do enough to get anything out of the match.
