Al Hazm 2-0 Al Taawoun result, stats and report

Al Hilal tore Al Taawoun apart in the Saudi Pro League, winning 6-0 with Gabriel Martinelli scoring a hat-trick and Ollie Watkins netting twice in a performance that was clinical from the first whistle.

Al Ahli were far too good for Al Hazm on Friday night, with Ivan Toney and Francisco Trincão combining to put the game to bed before half-time. Al Hazm had no answer for a side that created nine big chances and dominated every meaningful statistic.

Al Hazm dominated large portions of this Saudi Pro League fixture but saw three signals go bust as Al Faisaly held firm for a goalless draw, despite Al Hazm picking up five yellow cards on a poor afternoon for both attacks.

Al Taawoun controlled the match from start to finish but could not convert four big chances, leaving the points shared in a goalless draw against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Hazm dominated large spells of this Saudi Pro League contest and led through Roger Martínez's second-half strike, only for Afimico Pululu to convert a 90th-minute penalty and hand Al Shabab a point they barely deserved on the balance of play.

Al Taawoun dominated possession, territory, and the shot count against Al-Fayha, yet both sides finished with nothing. The numbers from this Saudi Pro League draw demand a closer look at what actually happened.

Al Hazm host Al Fateh on Thursday 15 October in a Saudi Pro League fixture that two struggling sides simply cannot afford to lose. Neither team has looked convincing in recent weeks, and something has to give.

Al-Taawoun have been fined £20,000 and ordered to play two matches behind closed doors after fans chanted Diogo Jota's name at Ruben Neves, Jota's grieving best friend. Cristiano Ronaldo has called for lifetime bans, raising questions about whether Saudi football's discipline matches its ambitions.
