Her influence was felt from the first whistle, as she led the line with sharp movement, intelligent positioning, and clinical finishing that eventually broke open a tight first half.

The opening 45 minutes were competitive, with both sides struggling to create clear chances. However, Asisat Oshoala changed the rhythm of the game almost immediately after the restart.

Just two minutes into the second half, she was perfectly placed to tap home from close range after a well-worked move involving Al Bandari Mobarak. That goal opened the floodgates for Al Hilal.

Kheira Hamraoui doubled the lead shortly after, finishing off another assist from the influential Al Bandari, who controlled the midfield with composure and vision. The home side quickly took full control of the match.

Before the final whistle, the Nigerian forward capped off her performance in style by scoring her second goal of the night in the 80th minute, sealing a dominant team display.

The result marked an important return to winning form for Al Hilal after a difficult spell of results.

The team had gone three matches without a win, but this emphatic performance restored confidence and momentum.
