Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates won 4-2 in the first leg. Those from Saudi Arabia had 34 consecutive wins.
Al Hilal's victories were in official tournaments and were divided as follows: 16 for the Arab League, 9 for the Asian Champions, and 3 for the King's Cup in Saudi Arabia. The Guinness record was 28 consecutive wins owned by the New Saints of Wales. But Jorge Jess's team pulverized him when they beat Marcelo Gallardo's Al Ittihad 2-0 a few weeks ago. The Portuguese coach's fifth victory over Mueco in five matches in the 2019 Libertadores final when the Europeans led Flamengo and beat River 2-1 in Lima, and the other four in Saudi Arabia, was against Al-Za'eem. The milestone achieved by Al HilAl is framed within the economic injection of the Kingdom of Arabia for the 'Vision 2030' project, which seeks to achieve the largest sporting events in the world.
