It's all over. Al Hilal win a thrilling Saudi derby with a 4-3 scoreline. It was a pulsating encounter and surely one of the greatest games in this derby's history. El Clasico goes to Al Hilal and they go top of the league table with this magnificent win. A sublime comeback from them as they win the match from 1-3 down in half time. Aleksandar Mitrovic was the hero for Al Hilal with a stunning hattrick. Al Ittihad now dethroned from their top spot and they take the 2nd spot with 12 points after five matches.
Fabinho wins the ball and Kante passes upwards, but poor again from Saelh Al Amri. Then Al Amri gets a yellow for a poor foul.
Al Hilal win a corner and they take short one. Milinkovic-Savic finds Al Faraj and then a shot from Abdulhamid is blocked.
Malcom is coming off for Al Ahli as Al Burayk comes on.
Al Ittihad come forward but a poor pass means Al Hilal can deal it with ease again. Al-Boleahi cuts the pass and then Koulibaly clears it.
Yassine Bounou grabs the free kick with ease. It was yet another poor set-piece by Salah Al Amri.
N'Golo Kante tripped by Ruben Neves and Al Ittihad win a free kick from a promising position.
Salah Al Amri finds Zakaria Hawsawi but Al Hilal defends well again. Tidy defending again by Salman Al Faraj to thwart any scare.
We still have plenty of time for Al Ittihad to get something out of the derby.
12 minutes added at the end of 90 minutes.
Malcom came so close to sealing it but he hits the post again. This is the second time the Brazilian has hit the post.
Al Ittihad attack is cut off by Al Hilal and they try to come forward with purpose. In the end, Al Ittihad defender Hasan Kadesh defends pretty decently.
Salah Al Amri sends the free kick in and Bounou clears it with a fist. The ball comes back again but this time Koulibaly heads it away.
Yellow card for Al-Boleahi after a handball, and that was deliberate as well. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Salman Al Faraj comes on for Al Hilal as Yasir Al Shahrani comes off. Michael is also off and Nasser Al-Dawsari is on.
A cheeky foul by Abdulhamid who smiles away from the spot. Al Ittihad find Jota but his pass is crucially touched away by Al-Boleahi as Benzema was free in the middle.
Al Amri takes the corner for Al Ittihad but it is way overhit and goes out for a goal kick.
Al Hilal have blown Al Ittihad away with an 11-minute desert storm. Mitrovic scored in the 61st and 64th minute, and then Salem Al-Dawsari scored in the 71st minute.
Jota's corner finds Romarinho's head, but Bounou makes a comfortable save for Al Hilal as we enter the final 10 minutes of the game.
Here is the Salem Al-Dawsari goal, which gave Al Hilal the lead.
GOOOOOOOOAL!!

Muhannad Shanqeeti looked certain to score there. The pass from Karim Benzema was delightful as well. We meanwhile, head into a hydration break.
What a save by Bounou! That surely looked like 4-4 but Bounou makes a superb save with his stomach. The move from Al Ittihad was brilliant though.
Romarinho holds the ball well and finds Kante. The Frenchman makes a darting run but the shot from Jota is blocked by Kouliably.
Al Ittihad try to come away playing some passes together but they can do nothing right at the moment. Romarinho this time fouls Michael.
Al Ittihad didn't concede a single goal in the last four league games. They have conceded 4 in this match so far, three in the last 12 minutes.
Perhaps that's why Al Hilal are the greatest club of Saudi Arabia.

Goaaaaaal!! Salem Al-Dawsari has scored for Al Hilal and they have turned things around in Jeddah. It is a crazy turn around. Milinkovic-Savic's header is turned in superbly by the Al Hilal captain.
Just wide from Al Hilal. Mitrovic was lurking again but the flick is just off target.
Al Hilal win a corner and Ruben Neves' ball in the box was met by Al Boleahi, which was first saved by Grohe, and then Malcom's rebound is cleared on the line.
Brazilian star Neymar is recovering from his minor muscle issue and may well be available for this crunch match against Al Ittihad. If Al Hilal win the match, they will claim the top spot in the league table.
