Al-Taib broke the deadlock one minute past the hour mark after he sent an ice-cool finish home following a one-on-one situation.

Hilal doubled the lead in the 79th minute when Al-Taib raced down the right-flank before providing a neat low cross to Brazilian striker Rodrigo for the easiest tap-ins.

Al-Taie defender Fahd Al-Mofarrig was sent-off seven minutes before the break for making a rash tackle.

Hilal are on top of the league table with 47 points, seven ahead of second-placed Al-Wehda while Al-Taie lie seventh on 20 points.
