Title-chasers Al-Hilal up against relegation battlers Al-Orobah in the matchweek 31 of the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Orobah's Mohannad Abu Taha brings down Malcom and is booked immediately. Ruben Neves lines up to take the free-kick. But it is blocked and the visitors get away.

Al-Orobah have started off well in the opening 10 minutes against the title chasers. Cristian Tello, formerly of Barcelona, is in the playing XI and will be the dangerman for the visiting team.

Mohamed Kanno gets into the act and almost sneaks in the opening goal for the hosts but Al-Orobah defence clear it away. Great start to this fixture given what's on the line for both sides.

Jóhann Gudmundsson, who used to play with Burnley not too long ago, is in the Al-Orobah playing XI and brings down Sergej Milinković-Savić with the latter angry about the foul. Referee warns the Icelandic player and is let off a yellow.

Ruben Neves floats in a neat lob over the Al-Orobah defence for right-back Al-Yami but the latter hits it wide of the visitors' goal. A nice chance though.

Aleksandar Mitrovic and who else! The Serbian converts a nice, floated cross from Salem Al-Dawsari as the former Fulham striker converts to put his side up front. It all came from a break in play from the home team and Al-Orobah will be ruing giving away that goal.

The relegation battlers are a goal down but need to fight back and show spirit if they are to get in the game. Al-Orobah have some terrific players in their team and have had few chances in the opposition half.

A nice break in play from Al-Orobah as Cristian Tello is released from the left but the Spanish winger's cross is a weak one and is straight into the hands of Bono.

Al-Orobah might need the break to replenish themselves. Two minutes are added in the first-half stoppages.

And that's that! Half-time with Al-Hilal going in the break with a 1-0 lead thanks to Aleksandar Mitrovic.

That's a great chance for Al-Hilal to double their lead, but Sergej Milinkovic-Savic fails to direct the ball goalwards. It was a terrific ball in from Al-Harbi down the left flank, but the Serbian, completely unmarked in the box, could not beat Coucke with his header.

HIL 1-0 ORO (54')

A good save from the Orobah keeper, after Mohamed Kano had a strong shot towards the top right corner, but the Belgian was in full stretch to keep the effort out.

HIL 1-0 ORO (59')

What a finish that is from the Saudi attacker! A great ball from Milinkovic-Savic freed him down the right wing, and Al-Dawsari coolly dinked it over Couke to get his 14th league goal of the season. A captain's performance from the Al-Hilal man.

HIL 2-0 ORO (65')

Al-Hilal are dominating the play at the moment, enjoying more than 70% of the ball posession, and Al-Orobah still have ZERO shots on target.

Meanwhile, a double change for the home side.

Kaio, Nasser Al Dawsari IN

Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic OUT

HIL 2-0 ORO (75')

That was counter-attacking football at its very best from Al-Hilal. The ball is passed on from the left flank by substitute Al-Qahtani to Salem Al-Dawsari, and instead of shooting, the captain opts to pass to Malcom. The Brazilian squared it back again before it was poked in to the back of the net, but Malcom was slightly offside, and the goal is chalked off.

HIL 2-0 ORO (85')

A tired challenge from Abu Taha on the skilful Kaio Cesar brings the Brazilian down on the edge and the referee blows for a spot kick, Al-Orobah's ninth in the league.

Kaio steps up to take the kick in stuttering fashion, and then sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to get a late goal for Al-Hilal.

HIL 3-0 ORO (90')

What a cameo from the Brazilian. The ball from the Al-Omorah keeper is intercepted by Al-Qahtani, who plays it to Al-Dawsari. The captain gives it to Malcom, and the attacker plays a backflick to the onrushing Kaio, who shoots it and finds the bottom corner again for his second goal in two minutes.

HIL 4-0 ORO (90+2')

Referee Erik Lambrechts blows his whistle after a quick VAR check for a potential penalty for Al-Orobah. The home side win by four goals, but they remain six points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad.

HIL 4-0 ORO (FT)
