The leader completed his victories by winning the first and second legs in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, and in the final of the Saudi Super Cup and the semi-finals of the Saudi King’s Cup.
Aref stated on the “Beyond the 18” program on the Saudi “SSC” channel that Al Hilal fans remember last season’s seven goals and forget that Al Ittihad defeated them 4 times in the 1997 season, and if they had played more than 4 matches, they would have won them as well.
Al-Ittihad – Saudi League
Aref pointed out that Al Hilal’s luck was to face Al Ittihad in its worst condition and that every match witnessed clear refereeing errors.
Al-Ameed will be a guest of Al-Zaeem today, Saturday, in the fourth round of the Roshn Professional League for the current season 2024-2025.
Al-Ittihad succeeded in achieving a very strong start this season, after collecting 9 points with a full mark in the first 3 rounds, and snatching the lead from the champion.
Jamal Aref:
Al-Hilal fans repeat 7 defeats for Al-Ittihad last season!!
I tell them that in 1997, Al-Ittihad defeated Al-Hilal in all four matches!
Why did Al Hilal win last season?
Because of refereeing errors!
