Soccer-Simone Inzaghi wins first trophy as Al Hilal claim Saudi Cup

​Al Hilal’s ​Theo Hernandez scored ‌deep into ​first-half stoppage time as his side rallied to ‌beat Al Kholood 2-1 in the Saudi King’s Cup final on Friday, earning coach Simone Inzaghi ‌his first trophy with the club.

Al Kholood ‌took an early lead through Ramiro Enrique, the Argentine striker firing in from close range in ⁠the ​fourth minute ⁠after rounding goalkeeper Yassine Bounou. Al Hilal drew level ⁠just before the interval when Nasser Al-Dawsari struck ​in the 42nd minute, before Hernandez arrived ⁠at the far post moments later to complete ⁠the ​turnaround.

Inzaghi’s side now return their focus to the Saudi Pro League, where they ⁠sit five points behind leaders Al Nassr ahead ⁠of ⁠a meeting between the sides on Tuesday, with Al Hilal holding ‌a ‌game in hand.
