Coming into a match that turned into a nail-biting thriller, Neymar injected energy and excitement into the game alongside his teammates. While he may have only played a brief cameo, his presence was undoubtedly felt as Al-Hilal secured a dramatic win over the reigning champions, Al-Ain, with veteran striker Salem Al-Dawsari shining with an amazing hat-trick. The game had supporters on the edge of their seats with each twist and turn, reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster.
