Latest setback came against a 🇧🇷! Saudi club hits 406 days unbeaten There are plenty of fans who know exactly when their team last lost. But anyone who follows Al-Hilal needs a very good memory. The Saudi club reached 406 days without knowing what a negative result is this Friday (14). After going through the 2025/26 season UNBEATEN, the team of Malcom and Benzema opened their Saudi Pro League campaign by beating Al-Faysaly 4-2. The last defeat? A 2-1 loss to Fluminense in the Club World Cup quarterfinals on July 4 last year. That match brought the club’s 2024/2025 season to an end. 📸 CHANDAN KHANNA - AFP or licensors The following season totaled 48 matches. There were 36 wins and 12 draws. No defeats at all. The Saudi league title went to CR7’s Al-Nassr, which lost four times but won more (28 to 25) and drew less often (twice to nine times). Al-Hilal ended up being eliminated on penalties in their very first knockout tie in the AFC Champions League and celebrated just one title: the Saudi King’s Cup. The mission in 26/27 is to win the season’s main tournaments. Even if there are defeats along the way. They almost made it complicated... Simone Inzaghi’s men went 3-0 up after just 28 minutes. Goals from Benzema and Rúben Neves (both from the penalty spot) and Malcom against goalkeeper Marcos Felipe, formerly of Fluminense and Bahia. Then came the second half and Al-Faysaly’s response: Mendy (59') and Bongonda (64') scored. But Rúben Neves scored another penalty (82'), securing the three points.
