A Dramatic Comeback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The match at King Fahd International Stadium was nothing short of dramatic. Damac, who seemed on the verge of securing a historic away victory, were left heartbroken as Al-Hilal turned the tide in the dying moments of the game. Early in the second half, Damac took control of the match with goals from Francois Kamano and Habib Diallo, putting them in the lead. However, Al-Hilal, known for their resilience, did not buckle under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musab Al Juwayr was the first to answer Damac’s challenge, scoring a crucial equaliser in the 73rd minute. His goal set the stage for Mitrovic to shine once more. The Serbian striker, who had already found the net in the first-half stoppage time, delivered a backheeled finish from six yards out, a goal that was initially disallowed for offside. However, after a tense VAR review, the goal was awarded, sending the Al-Hilal fans into a frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitrovic: The Key to Al-Hilal’s Success<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mitrovic’s influence on the pitch cannot be overstated. His knack for scoring crucial goals in tight situations has made him an indispensable asset for Jorge Jesus’ side. This latest performance against Damac not only brought his first Pro League goals against this particular opponent but also highlighted his ability to perform under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this win, Al-Hilal continues to assert their dominance in the Saudi Pro League. Mitrovic\u2019s double against Damac adds to his growing tally this season, having already scored twice in the opening match against Al-Okhdood. His consistent goal-scoring form is a significant reason why Al-Hilal has maintained a perfect start to their campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n

Damac’s Struggles Continue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the pitch, Damac’s hopes of achieving their 50th Pro League win were dashed. Despite taking the lead and holding onto it for a significant portion of the match, they were unable to secure the victory. Coach Cosmin Contra\u2019s winless streak against Al-Hilal now extends to six matches, a statistic that will undoubtedly weigh heavily on him and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damac\u2019s inability to hold onto their lead and close out matches against top-tier teams like Al-Hilal remains a concern. While they displayed moments of brilliance, particularly through Kamano and Diallo\u2019s goals, their defensive frailties were exposed in the later stages of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Hilal’s Unstoppable Momentum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As for Al-Hilal, this victory is yet another example of their unwavering determination and strength in the Saudi Pro League. With Mitrovic leading the charge, supported by a team that knows how to perform in clutch moments, they are setting the pace early in the season. This win not only boosts their confidence but also sends a clear message to their rivals: Al-Hilal is here to compete at the highest level, and they have the firepower to back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
