Al Hilal win emphatically against Al Riyadh as Neymar makes debut

This was after the international break, where Neymar eclipsed Pele’s goal tally for Brazil. Al Hilal won emphatically on 15th September when they spanked Al Riyadh 6-1 as Neymar made his debut. Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring with a penalty while Salem Aldawsari scored a brace.

Neymar assisted Malcom in the 83rd minute to make it 4-0 while he was also involved in winning the penalty in the 87th minute for Aldawsari to convert and make it 5-0.

Neymar was also involved in the 6th goal after his shot was saved only for Aldawsari to make it 6. Al Hilal since drew 1-1 to Navbahor in the AFC Champions League. Nevertheless, it looks like Al Hilal is a strong outfit and with Neymar now available, they could end up winning some silverware by the end of the season.
