Al Hilal continues its unbeaten run.

In the second matchday of Group H of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Al Hilal and RB Salzburg played to a 0-0 draw at Audi Field in Washington, D.C.

Al Hilal shared the points with RB Salzburg.

Before the match, Al Hilal carried the confidence of an impressive performance in the opening round, where they forced Real Madrid – the European giant – to share the points in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, RB Salzburg were leading Group H after a 2-1 victory over Pachuca.

A victory against Al Hilal would secure Austria's qualification early, giving them a significant advantage before facing Real Madrid in the final match. However, Al Hilal proved they were not an easy opponent, with a quality squad including Joao Cancelo, Ruben Neves, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

In the first half, Al Hilal demonstrated their superiority. They controlled the ball for 62% of the time, dominating RB Salzburg (38%), and had 10 shots on goal compared to Salzburg's 5.

However, a lack of sharpness in finishing prevented Al Hilal from finding the net in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, Al Hilal continued to maintain pressure. Nevertheless, the Saudi Arabian team's inaccurate finishing meant the match ended in a 0-0 draw.

This result gives Al Hilal an additional point, bringing their total to 2 points after two matches, placing them third in Group H of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Meanwhile, RB Salzburg remains in second place with 4 points.

With their final match against Pachuca – the team currently at the bottom of the table – Al Hilal are considered to have a great chance to win and compete for a spot in the round of 16. While RB Salzburg face the enormous challenge of Real Madrid, Al Hilal still have a chance to make history.

Despite not being entirely satisfied with the draw against Salzburg, Al Hilal's management still has reason to be optimistic. They are almost certainly the most likely Asian representatives to advance in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, as other clubs like Ulsan Hyundai, Urawa Reds, and Al Ain have all performed poorly.
