A brace from forward Abdullah Al Salam and a late tap-in from veteran Fabio Martins secured a stunning victory for Al Khaleej against Al Hilal SFC in their Saudi Pro League 2024/25 tie on Saturday.

Led by former Al Hilal head coach Georgios Donis, Al Khaleej became the first team to defeat Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League since May 2022, ending a 46-match unbeaten run in a period that saw them reach a world-record 34 consecutive wins in all competitions.

Al Hilal looked to be cruising after first half goals from Marcos Leonardo (12th) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (37th).

Al Salam sparked the fightback when he scored off Konstantinos Fortounis' penalty rebound just before the break and drew Al Khaleej level two minutes into the restart.

The incredible comeback win was sealed in the 85th minute thanks to Khaled Narey's assist, the Togolese winger breaking free and squaring for Martins, who tapped home from eight yards as Al Khaleej, who had only managed one point from their previous 14 matches against Al Hilal, secured a famous win.

Al Ittihad took advantage of Al Hilal's defeat to move top after beating Al Fateh 2-0 on Sunday, thanks to goals from Fabinho (58th) and Houssem Aouar (90th).

Abdulwahab Al Malood put Muharraq ahead in the 89th minute with Juninho's effort deep into stoppage time sealing the win as they moved up to 11 points, two ahead of second placed Sitra and Al Khaldiya.
