RIYADH —
Following a review by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation's (SAFF) Referees Department, Al Hilal’s second goal in their 3-0 Roshn Saudi League matchweek 3 victory over Al Riyadh has been officially credited as an own goal by Al Riyadh defender Yoann Barbet. The goal was initially logged as scored by Al Hilal forward Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The match ended with a 3-0 win for Al Hilal, with Salem Al Dawsari netting the first goal and Mitrovic scoring the third.

Despite the reclassification, Mitrovic remains at the top of the RSL scoring charts with 7 goals, having scored doubles against Al Okhdood, Damac, and Al Ittihad, and one goal against Al Riyadh.
