Al Ahli 3-1 Al Hilal (Apr 29, 2025) Game Analysis

Al Ahli secured a thrilling 3-1 victory over Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, booking their place in the final of the Asian Champions League Elite and keeping alive their quest for the first continental title since 1986. The home side dominated with goals from Roberto Firmino and Ivan Toney early on, but Al Hilal fought back, reducing the deficit just before halftime. However, a second yellow card for Kalidou Koulibaly left them without a man, and despite a late penalty save by Yassine Bounou, Al Ahli's substitute Feras Al-Brikan netted a third goal in injury time to seal their narrow victory. Al Ahli will face either Al Nassr or Japan's Kawasaki Frontale in the final on Saturday.
