Al-Hilal have fallen five points behind league leaders Al-Nassr after a frustrating 2-2 draw with Al-Taawoun, sparking intense criticism over the team’s inability to convert dominant goal-scoring opportunities.
Al-Hilal’s pursuit of the Roshen Professional League title suffered a setback following a -2 draw against Al-Taawoun.
The result leaves them in second place with 65 points, trailing rivals Al-Nassr by five. Media analyst Emad Al-Salmi highlighted the team’s inefficiency, stating,
“I believe Al-Hilal is the team that has squandered the most chances in the Roshen League this season,” despite their star-studded lineup.
The draw has raised questions regarding the tactical system under Simone Inzaghi and the clinical edge of his attackers.
While boasting talents like Karim Benzema and Malcom, the side struggled to break down a resilient Al-Taawoun defense.
Al-Salmi noted the performance “demonstrates the absence of a striker capable of scoring,” emphasizing the growing pressure on the squad to find a magic solution.
