Al Hilal close in on leaders Al Shabab
The defending champions are looking really good for the title once again after a fourth win in four.
Hilal was just too good for their visitors Al Wehda following a comprehensive and convincing win.
After a goalless opening half, Moussa Marega opened the scoring with the breakthrough goal just before the hour mark.
Ighalo doubled their advantage on the 79th minute before the player who replaced the Nigerian, Luciano Vietto wrapped up proceedings 10 minutes later with the third.
