Rival Coach's Fury: 'Was That Football or Futsal?'

In a dramatic Saudi Pro League match, Al-Hilal secured a 3-2 victory over Al-Raed with a decisive goal in the 13th minute of stoppage time. Al-Raed's head coach, Odair Hellmann, criticized the officiating, particularly the unusually long added time. He remarked, "In all our matches, stoppage time is usually 8 to 9 minutes. Why was it 13 minutes this time?" Hellmann questioned whether the game was being played under football or futsal rules, highlighting his team's fair play and lack of time-wasting tactics. He added, "Al-Hilal was lucky to beat us, but I must thank my team for delivering a great performance."
