Odion Ighalo inspired new club Al Hilal to a 1-0 win at Al Raed in the Saudi Arabia Pro League on Sunday.
Ighalo provided the assist for Mali striker Moussa Marega to seal the winner in the 89th minute.
Al Hilal have now recorded their sixth consecutive wins losing 4-0 to Egypt’s Al Ahly in the FIFA Club World Cup in February.
It was Ighalo’s second assist of the 2021/2022 campaign in the Saudi Arabia topflight.
The win took Al Hilal to second place on 46 points, 11 points behind leaders Al Ittihad but with the former having played two games less.
Since joining Al Hilal from Al Shabab, Ighalo has scored four goals in five league games.
He is part of the Super Eagles squad that will take on the Black Stars of Ghana in the 2022 World Cup qualifying play-offs this month.

IGHALO/OSIMEHN!!!
IT WILL BE THE MOST DEADLY SYNERGY IN AFRICAN FOOTBALL HISTORY COME 25 AND 29..
*DEADLIEST*
You are an enemy of the SE@Monkey. You want the static and clueless Ighalo to give the SE team short one.
Osimhen is sufficient upfront with a balanced midfield trio having a very proactive AM behind Osiy merged with our traditional flanks will deliver the World cup ticket to the SE.
As a friend to the SE I expect you to know that Ighalo will be coming with much more experience, power and rugedity to relieve the pressure off Osimehn..
All tackles will be on him that day..
And as far as am concern Osimehn is still not healed. He still gat his mask on.. He will be needing the help of ighalo upfront…
*100% healed*
@MonkeyPost, I support you on this.
Only a click of a shot secures his place in the national setup and it entertains fewer comments. Continue dropping your assists and score goals.
His media only reported this but his many joyous assists are officially clicking excepting in spirituality, many are technological goals, VAR.
Who is Vincent Aboubacar to have won the golden boot? We missed Odion in Cameroon.
As we have fun with SE player assist, the black Stars are scared we are adding to ComoRos technological play.
Continue to promote him, don’t worry Ghana will expose u guys, I know must of u guys in that worthless glass house don’t wish Nigeria well. Eguaveon just confessed the reason for inviting Onazi, truths are beginning to come out. Su guys wouid rather have slow and always falling down Ighalo over Awoniyi the tormentor , no problem.
LMFAO!!!Your tormentor who couldn’t torment a depleted Tunisian side??? LMFAO!!!
