The Royals resurrected from a two goal deficit against Nasaf to win 4-2 in the Champions League Elite on Monday.
To validate their resilience from being just a fluke, the Asian champions put up an even more impressive comeback against Al Hilal on Friday.
It was a game that had so much going into it. Two teams poised to prove a point early on in the season.
It was the visitors who raced into a three goal lead in the first half of the nail biting encounter.
They held on to the lead until the 78th minute when the hosts had their first break of the night.
They would go on to score two more before full time to steal an unbelievable point on the night.
It was a game that looked dead and buried until the boys from Jeddah resuscitated their inner resilience.
Following the great comeback, Matthias Jaissle expressed pride in his side’s incredible attitude.
“We knew before it would be a challenge – and a tough one, definitely,” he said after the game.
“Al Ahli had been in control early on, the German said. “Then three goals. Crazy.”

“The second half… of course you need to go all in then. And I have to say, I’m really proud once more how we made the turnaround; how we came back against Al Hilal. And you all know how strong Al Hilal are.”
“From a 0-3 back to a 3-3 at the end of the match: that’s incredible. I’m so proud of the team. That spirit shows a lot of character that we have in the team. Again, together with the fans, this unity; this is a [fortress] here. That’s something special.”
Attention will now be shifted to Tuesday’s Intercontinental Cup final against Pyramids of Egypt.
