Ighalo celebrates as Al Hilal qualify for Saudi Cup final

Odion Ighalo was on cloud nine after Al Hilal made it to the final of the King’s Cup following a 1-0 victory against Al Ittihad.

Egypt defender, Ahmed Hegazi’s own goal in the first half of extra time gave Al Hilal the win.

Ighalo started the game and was replaced by Luciano Vetto in the second half of extra time.

The 33-year-old took to social media to celebrate the win.

“Through to kings Cup finals.. Vamos,” Ighalo wrote on his Twitter handle.

The forward is now in line to win his second major trophy with the Lions after claiming the Saudi League title last season.

Al Hilal will face the winner of the other semi-final between Al Nassr and Al Wehda in the final of the Kings Cup.
