After Matheus Pereira had put the visitors ahead in the 16th minute, the Super Eagles forward assisted Salem Al-Dawsari to extend Al Hilal’s lead in the 34th minute.

Before interval, Al-Dawsari made it 3-0, and things got much worse for the home club when former Everton defender Funes Mori was sent off in the 63rd minute.

The 32-year-old Nigerian then completed the sweep for Al Hilal 15 minutes into stoppage time, scoring his team’s fourth goal, before being replaced by Saleh Al-Shehri six minutes from time.

Al Hilal has now recorded three wins against the Al Nassr side this season, with Ighalo scoring twice, the first of which came in the Saudi Kings Cup last month, when they fought back from a goal down to win 2-1.
