Al-Hilal have defeated Al-Shabab 4-2 on the second day of the inaugural Saudi Women’s Premier League in a match at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah on Friday night.

All four Al-Hilal goals were scored by Shokhan Salhi. In the other match of the day, Al-Yamamah beat Eastern Flames 3-1 at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium reserve pitch in Riyadh.

Thursday night had witnessed the historic first match in the new league, with Al-Nassr overwhelming Sama 18-0, also at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium reserve pitch.

The results mean that after three of the opening round’s four matches, Al-Nassr lead the table on goals ahead of Al-Hilal in second and Al-Shabab in third.

In real time it looked as though the VAR check for Phil Foden’s disallowed goal related to the challenge on Alisson by Erling Haaland. The fact it was for something earlier, Haaland’s foul on Fabinho, a kind of disdainful toss to the floor which seemed entirely unconnected by the time the ball was put in the net by Foden, emphasised again the oddity and inconsistency of VAR. That challenge had been within the referee’s eyeline at the time. Was this video tool really intended to allow the officials to re-referee such 50-50 moments? Was there an obvious injustice here that simply had to be corrected? The answer probably depends on which team you support, or how slowly you replay the collision. But again, it was hard to feel the spectacle was improved by this intervention. This has been an unintended consequence of VAR: over-refereeing, and bizarrely excessive prominence for the enforcer of some necessarily subjective laws. Football is entertainment.
