فَتَحَ نَادِي الْهِلَالِ مَوْسِمَهُ فِي دَوْرِي رُوشِنَ السُّعُودِيِّ بِفَوْزٍ عَلَى الْفَيْصَلِيِّ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَهْدَافٍ مُقَابِلَ هَدَفَيْنِ، مَسَاءَ الْجُمُعَةِ، الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أَغُسْطُسَ. وَأُقِيمَتِ الْمُبَارَاةُ فِي الرِّيَاضِ ضِمْنَ الْجَوْلَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الْمُسَابَقَةِ.

سَجَّلَ كَرِيمُ بِنْزِيمَا الْهَدَفَ الْأَوَّلَ مِنْ رَكْلَةِ جَزَاءٍ فِي الدَّقِيقَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ، ثُمَّ أَضَافَ مَالْكُومُ الْهَدَفَ الثَّانِيَ. وَسَجَّلَ رُوبِن نِيفِيشُ هَدَفَيْنِ مِنْ رَكْلَتَيْ جَزَاءٍ. وَتَقَدَّمَ الْهِلَالُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَهْدَافٍ فِي الشَّوْطِ الْأَوَّلِ، لَكِنَّ الْفَيْصَلِيَّ عَادَ إِلَى الْمُبَارَاةِ بِهَدَفَيْنِ فِي الشَّوْطِ الثَّانِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْسِمَ نِيفِيشُ النَّتِيجَةَ بِهَدَفِهِ الْأَخِيرِ.

وَحَصَلَ الْهِلَالُ عَلَى أَوَّلِ ثَلَاثِ نِقَاطٍ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ الْجَدِيدِ. وَافْتُتِحَ الدَّوْرِيُّ يَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أَغُسْطُسَ، وَتُشَارِكُ فِيهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ نَادِيًا. وَتَضُمُّ الْمُسَابَقَةُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ جَوْلَةً وَ٣٠٦ مُبَارَيَاتٍ قَبْلَ نِهَايَةِ الْمَوْسِمِ فِي التَّاسِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ مَايُو ٢٠٢٧. وَيُعْطِي هٰذَا الْفَوْزُ الْفَرِيقَ ثِقَةً مُبَكِّرَةً، لٰكِنَّ الطَّرِيقَ إِلَى اللَّقَبِ مَا زَالَ طَوِيلًا.
