Al-Shabab stun Al-Ahli .. Al-Hilal suffer first defeat



The leaders Al-Hilal lost 2-1 to Al-Hazm, in the round 13, of Prince Mohammed Bin Salman League for Professionals.
Bafetimbi Gomis broke the deadlock for Al-Hilal after 17 minutes, before a second half double by Mohamed El-Siri and Jahn Bajoy turned the result in the 46th and 80th minutes, in Al-Hazm's favor.
Al-Hilal maintained the lead with 32 points despite the loss, while Al-Hazm reached 14 points in the 11th place on the table.
This was Al-Hilal’s first loss in the league.
At King Abdullah Al Jawhara International Stadium, a last-gasp goal by Arthur Caique do Nascimento Cruz gave Al-Shabab an important away 1-0 win over Al-Ahli.
A Fahd El-Gazy cross located the unmarked Cruz, who powered a header past Al-Ahli goalkeeper Moahmed El-Ewis.
Al-Shabab's total moved up to 23 points in the fifth place, while Al-Ahli maintained the 4th place with 24 points.
The round matches will be concluded on Monday evening with Ohod, the 16th with 6 points, meeting its guest, Al-Qadsya, the 10th with 14 points, at Prince Mohammed bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.
