Jesus Lauds Al Hilal’s First-Half Brilliance in Victory against Persepolis

The Saudi giant beat Iran’s Persepolis 4-1 at the Kingdom Arena on Tuesday.

The result propelled Al Hilal back to the top of the standings, ahead of Al Ahli Saudi on goal difference with Jesus praising his team’s mentality.

“After leading by four goals in the first half, we started playing at a lower pace in the second half, and there is no team that plays 90 minutes at a high pace except on the PlayStation,” Jesus said.

“I remember that since I joined the team, we have only lost three matches. All the players are equally important to me,” said Jesus, whose side will face the UAE’s Al Wasl in two weeks to conclude their League Stage campaign.
