Match report

Al-Hilal saw off Al-Raed 2-0 in the Round of 32 of the King's Cup on Sunday evening in Riyadh. Two goals from R. Neves — a penalty in the fourteenth minute and a second in the eightieth — were enough for the visitors to progress. By then, the shape of the game was already clear. The opening moment came from the spot. Neves stepped up and found the corner, giving Al-Hilal an early advantage. To be fair, it was the kind of moment you expect from a side that has spent time in these ties before. Al-Raed, meanwhile, were caught in possession with little structure behind them. The hosts tried to respond but never really got out of second gear. Al-Hilal controlled the tempo, moving the ball with purpose and probing for weaknesses. Neves added a second in the eightieth to put the result beyond doubt, and the visitors then managed the final quarter comfortably. The numbers tell the full story. Al-Hilal held 73 per cent possession and created 2.36 expected goals compared to Al-Raed's 0.2. The visitors registered seven shots on target to none for the hosts, and their four big chances stood in stark contrast to Al-Raed's zero. Shots accuracy was 50 per cent for Al-Hilal and zero for the hosts. The result leaves Al-Hilal in the last eight, while Al-Raed's cup campaign is over. They had a difficult run ahead of them — and this was one of the tougher matches on their schedule. The table goes out of the window in these games, but you can see where the gap lies.
