It’s finally a celebration for Simone Inzaghi too. After weeks of tension, the former Nerazzurri coach scored his first title with Al Hilal by beating Al Kholood 2-1 in the King Cup final. This is the tenth title of his career for Inzaghi, after the six won with Inter (one scudetto, two Italian Cups and three Super Cups) and three with Lazio (one Italian Cup and two Super Cups).
The match
—
At the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, under the eyes of King Salman present in the stands, the Riyadh team – more than a thousand kilometers away from Jeddah – overcame Ramiro Enrique’s initial deficit by scoring twice at the end of the first half. First Al Dawasari and then Theo Hernandez – assisted by Benzema – overturned the result, offering Inzaghi his first joy as manager in Arabia.
