Al-Hilal Achieve World Record With 28th Straight Win

Al-Hilal claimed a 2-0 win against Al-Ittihad in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday.

With this win, the Saudi Arabian side achieved a remarkable feat.

They surpassed the tally of 27 straight wins by Welsh club The New Saints in 2016.

The 18-time champions reached the Asian Champions League semis beating Al-Ittihad.

Al-Hilal qualified for the semis with an aggregate of 4-0.

They will take on Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates in the semis next month.

Al-Hilal have won all matches since a draw on September 21 last year.

Table-toppers Al-Hilal played out a 1-1 draw against league rival Damac in that game.

Al-Hilal are 12 points ahead of second-placed Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
