ND Gorica Face Al-Hilal in Pre-Season Friendly

On July 11th, 2023, Al-Hilal Riyadh faced off against ND Gorica in a pre-season friendly match at the Venue Sportzentrum Landskron Villach. The Saudi giants emerged victorious with a comfortable 2-0 victory, showcasing their impressive form ahead of the upcoming season.

Al-Hilal dominated the match from the outset, controlling possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities. Their attacking trio of Salem Al-Dawsari, Moussa Marega, and Odion Ighalo proved to be a constant threat to the Gorica defense. The visitors, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm and rarely threatened the Al-Hilal goal.

The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute when Marega pounced on a loose ball in the Gorica area and slotted it home. Al-Hilal continued to press for more goals, and their efforts were rewarded in the 65th minute when Al-Dawsari's deflected shot found the back of the net. Gorica had a few chances to get back into the game, but they failed to capitalize on them.

The match ended 2-0 in favor of Al-Hilal, who looked sharp and well-prepared for the upcoming season. ND Gorica, on the other hand, will need to improve their performance if they want to challenge for the Slovenian league title this season.

Overall, it was a dominant performance from Al-Hilal, who showed why they are one of the top clubs in Asia. ND Gorica, on the other hand, have some work to do if they want to compete at the highest level.
