Al-Hilal, the reigning King's Cup champion, overthrew the Jeddah Federation from the semi-finals, after winning 2-1 on Tuesday night at the "Radioactive Jewel" Stadium.
Al-Hilal took the lead in the 25th minute through Michael Delgado, but Etihad drew a goal from Abdul Razak Hamdallah in the 67th minute, before Saud Abdul Hamid scored the winner in the 81st minute.
Hilal triumphed despite completing the game with 10 men since the 42nd minute following Sergei Savic's dismissal.
The leader continued to dominate the Clasico games, winning the seven games that brought together the teams this season (2 in the league, 2 in the Champions League, one in the Arab Club Championship, the Saudi Super Cup and the Copa del Rey).
Al-Hilal has not lost at the hands of the Etihad in the last 12 games of all tournaments, winning 11 times and drawing one, while the Dean's last win dates back to April 2021 when Saud Abdul Hamid scored in the yellow and black jersey (2-0).
Al-Hilal awaits in the final, qualifying for the other semifinal between Victory and the Gulf tomorrow Wednesday.
