Al-Hilal maintained their stronghold on the Saudi Professional League with a 3-1 win over Al-Raed on Friday, November 24th, 2023, at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraidah. Under the guidance of manager Jorge Jesus, Al-Hilal extended their unbeaten run and further solidified their top spot in the league standings. Aleksandar Mitrović was pivotal, scoring twice in the 42nd and 68th minutes, reinforcing his reputation as a reliable goal-scorer for the team. Salem Al-Dawsari added Al-Hilal’s third goal in the 87th minute, securing the win despite a late consolation goal from Al-Raed’s Karim El Berkaoui. Al-Hilal controlled the game with sustained possession and attacking pressure, exposing Al-Raed’s defense on multiple occasions. Al-Raed’s efforts, led by manager Hamad Al-Shehri, were ultimately overshadowed by Al-Hilal’s potent midfield, which included Sergej Milinković-Savić, and their attacking trio.

Al-Hilal finished the match with 38 points from 14 games, well ahead at the top of the table, while Al-Raed remained mid-table, struggling for consistency.
