In a seesaw battle, Al Hilal's Bono emerged as the hero, denying Al Nassr's attempts and securing the title for his team. Despite a valiant effort from Ronaldo and his teammates, their season concluded without a trophy, while Al Hilal celebrated completing the domestic double.
The game started with Al Nassr showing early promise, but Al Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrovic changed the momentum with a headed goal. Al Nassr's frustrations grew as they faced setbacks, including a red card for goalkeeper David Ospina after handling the ball outside his area.
With the odds stacked against them, Al Nassr rallied back, equalizing through Ayman Yahya after Al Hilal lost both centre-backs to red cards. The match remained deadlocked even after extra time, setting the stage for a tense penalty shootout.
Both teams exchanged penalties, with Al Nassr substitute Meshari Al Nember missing the crucial spot-kick that would have secured victory. Ultimately, it was Al Hilal who prevailed, adding another King’s Cup title to their illustrious history.
The victory marked Al Hilal's 11th King’s Cup triumph, highlighting their dominance in Saudi football. Meanwhile, Al Nassr's quest for glory continues, with hopes pinned on future seasons to clinch the cup once again.
