Ammon News - 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.
