Al-Hilal face a must-win scenario in their final Club World Cup group stage clash, as they take on already-eliminated Pachuca with their hopes of reaching the last 16 hanging by a thread.
Group H is finely poised heading into Thursday's finale in Nashville, with Real Madrid and Red Bull Salzburg two points clear at the top. Simone Inzaghi’s men still have a slim shot at progressing, but only if they collect all three points and results elsewhere go their way.
A frustrating 0-0 draw with Salzburg in Washington followed a spirited 1-1 result against Real Madrid, but Al-Hilal were left to rue missed chances and stifled attacking play in sweltering conditions, despite dominating the ball. That draw could prove costly.
Victory over Pachuca is non-negotiable for the Saudi side, yet even that might not be enough. Should Salzburg and Madrid share the spoils, all three sides would finish level on points, and with Al-Hilal’s inferior goal difference, they could still fall short, as goals against bottom-placed Pachuca don’t factor into tie-breakers.
