Koulibaly and Al-Owais face Neom

Al Hilal Saudi Team suffered a surprising defeat against NEOM with a 0-2 score in the first half, after their Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was injured during warm-up, forcing the Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais to play in his place. Defensive mistakes by Al-Owais, including an own goal by Kalidou Koulibaly and a mistake in exiting the penalty area, allowed NEOM’s attack to score the two goals, putting the team in a difficult position. This loss is rare for Al Hilal, who had entered the sixth round with a perfect record; now they face a tough challenge to close the gap and achieve victories in the upcoming matches.
