Both teams had their fair share of chances across the 90 minutes but the star of the night was Ali Al Habsi of Al Hilal, who managed to keep everything out of his net. Omar Al Somah’s 70-minute participation was poor, but his reaction to his substitution was bizarre as he questioned whether Sergey Rebrov knew what he was doing with a controversial gesture. This result keeps Al Hilal at the top of the table with 53 points, and Al Ahli in second place with 52 points....

Saban spoke recently with The Associated Press about NIL’s impact on college football.
