RB Salzburg 0-0 Al-Hilal, Club World Cup: Saudi Side Held For Second Successive Draw

Al Hilal and RB Salzburg played out a goalless draw in the second match of both these teams in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 on Sunday. Al Hilal controlled the ball more than their opponents and also took more shots but even as the Saudi side looked more threatening, the Austrian club managed to hold them to a stalemate. This is now Al-Hilal's second straight draw in the competition and puts their chances of advancing to the knockout rounds at risk.
