Al-Hilal striker Saleh Al-Shehri scored a fatal goal that prevented Al-Ittihad Jeddah from achieving the first victory at the Saudi League summit since 2016.
The top of matchday 10 of the Saudi League ended in a 1-1 draw, in a match that saw Ahmed Hegazy participate in a key match with Al-Ittihad Jeddah.
Abdul Rahman Al Aboud put Al Ittihad ahead in the 20th minute with a superb shot, which he found a cross from the right wing.
But Al-Shehri scored the tying goal for Hilal in the 85th minute, one minute after he came off as a substitute from a free kick header.
This goal deprived the Jeddah Federation of winning the Saudi Classic for the first time since October 28, 2016, when the Tigers won with two unanswered goals.
The final minutes saw a controversial referee as the ball hit Hijazi’s hand after a header from Pavitembe Gómez inside the penalty area, but the referee decided to resume play without a penalty for Hilal.
With this result, Al-Ittihad Jeddah continued the unbeaten streak that had begun since Hegazy joined in 11 consecutive matches.
Al-Ittihad tied in the league for the third consecutive game, as they achieved the last victory of the competition on December 6 at the expense of Al-Wehda with a score of 2-1.
With a draw, Hilal raised her score to 23 points at the top of the league, 4 points ahead of Al-Ahly Jeddah, who plays Al-Raed tomorrow in the 10th round.
Al-Ittihad’s balance rose to 15 points in fourth place.
