Al Hilal vs Al Wehda.
Al Wehda's success in getting rid of Al Nassr in this tournament is actually a strong enough capital to also compete with Al Hilal even though the two teams have a fairly large gap considering the state of their position in the league standings, but because Al Nassr is almost the same as Al Hilal, this is an opportunity for Al Wehda winning in this tournament was wide open, and that was proven because even though in the end Al Wehda was able to make the match go to penalties and penalty shootouts will always be difficult to predict because not all goalkeepers have the ability to read the direction of the ball even the best goalkeepers sometimes can only see the ball rolling to his goal, in the penalty shootout the two teams only hope that there will be players who fail to kick so that it is an advantage for them.
Statistically, Al Hilal's overall match dominated but Al Wehda could withstand all of Al Hilal's attacks well, as evidenced by the 8 shots on target, only one was able to penetrate Al Wehda's goal, and if Al Wehda were able to maintain the advantage they got from their first half it's could be they will win this tournament, it looks like Al Wehda really prepared themselves to get good results in this match but many factors ultimately prevented them from winning the Saudi King's Cup.
Curious enough to see the highlights of this match but haven't found it yet maybe because it's not Al Nassr so there aren't many media covering it, even when searching on Google only found news about Al Nassr's defeat to Al Wehda in the semifinals, it seems only Al Nassr club that is always interesting to report on media
I'm sure, you can find highlights on the YouTube channel.
This fight took place quite dramatically. as I previously predicted, that the match would go very tough. if we talk based on statistics, it is clear that Al Hilal dominates ball possession. however, in the first round Al Wehda put up quite a tough fight. Plus, Karim Yoda's shot was pretty cool and was successfully converted into a goal for Al Wehda in the 35th minute. in the second half Al Hilal played more with a higher intensity, they provided pressing so that Al Wehda did not have as many opportunities as in the first half. Likewise with the minutes of extra time, Al Hilal dominated.
On the other hand, after Al Hilal fell behind in the 35th minute, they played more aggressively. too bad, Michael's hard shot hit the crossbar. in the second half, Al Hilal had many opportunities but none of them were able to convert into goals. in the 90 + 9 injury time minutes, Al Hilal was very lucky to be equalized by Ali Boleahi. which in the end, the dramatic match lasted until the penalty shoot-out. it's a shame, victory is in front of Al Wehda's eyes but luck is more on Al Hilal's side. which in the end, Al Hilal won the King's Cup.
