Al-Hilal’s indifferent league form continued on Tuesday with a 1-1 draw at Al-Raed, the champions’ third stalemate in four games.
The result leaves them third in the Saudi Professional League, three points behind leaders Al-Nassr after having played a game more.
It was a frustrating evening for the visitors after they started brightly. Hamad Al-Yami’s first-half goal put them ahead but they were left to regret not putting the game to bed after 76 minutes as substitute Yahya Mubarak headed home the equalizer to give Al-Raed a hard-fought point.
It means that Ramon Diaz’s men now have 26 points from 13 games, level on points but behind second-placed Al-Shabab, who drew 1-1 with Al-Ittihad, now in fourth, on Monday.
