All credit to Al Hilal for winning yesterday's match against Al Taawoun. And they did it without Neymar. The goals were scored by Aleksandar Mitrović and local player Mohamed Kanno. The absence of Neymar was never felt during the match, as Mitrović comfortably lead the attack with help from the two Brazilians (Michael and Malcolm) as well as Salem Al-Dawsari. Al Hilal continue to top the table, with 35 points from 13 matches. At second place we have Ronaldo's Al Nassr, who have 28 points from 12 matches. Even after yesterday's loss, Al Taawoun is at 4th place.
Neymar has not had the chance to contribute much to Al-Hilal. He has only played a few matches for Al-Hilal. So when Neymar was injured and had a long absence, I thought nothing would change with Al-Hilal. But remembering about Neymar a little makes me quite sad. Well this player came to the Arab League to be in the spotlight like Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldi and Mane. But unfortunately he had to suffer an injury while defending his own national team. And actually, this is not the first time Neymar has suffered a serious injury. Because even when he was at PSG he was absent quite often due to injury. But maybe this time the injury will really make Neymar absent for even a season if his recovery process doesn't go quickly.
But fortunately we can see for ourselves that Al-hilal's performance is still good even without Neymar. So this club doesn't feel too lost at all. But I'm more worried about Neymar's feelings at the moment. I hope he can recover quickly and return to the field.
Al-Hilal, who are still unbeaten this season, continues to increase their lead in points. And Al-Nassr's efforts to overtake the points difference are likely to last quite a long time if Al-Hilal is still undefeated. And Al-Nassr cannot afford to lose points in the match that will take place today. Al-Wehda should not be so difficult for Al-Nassr. And I think everyone is now looking forward to this match because they want to see Cristiano Ronaldo play after he missed the previous match.
