RIYADH — Alexander Mitrovi, a Serbian striker who made his professional football debut with Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, was in the spotlight when he scored the team's first goal and led them to a triumphant victory. A stunning display of talent and dexterity marked Mitrovi's eagerly anticipated ascension into Al-Hilal's ranks. The Serbian forward, who had just been purchased from English side Fulham, showed off his talent with an incredible goal in his first outing in the renowned Al-Hilal uniform.
There were difficulties along the way to securing Mitrovi's talents. Officials at Fulham adamantly expressed their reluctance to part ways with their prized striker, making negotiations with them difficult.
Al-Hilal's unrelenting resolve and Mitrovi's personal ambition to make a name for himself in the Saudi League, however, ultimately resulted in a successful agreement. The deal, which had a staggering $58 million price tag, confirmed Mitrovi's three-season commitment to Al-Hilal.
Mitrovi made history for Al-Hilal in his Saudi Professional League debut against Al-Raed by scoring a crucial goal that set the tone for the team's resounding 4-0 victory. When Mitrovi scored, the Al-Raed Stadium crowd was treated to a display of skill and tenacity. The goal was met with raucous applause from the spectators.
Mitrovi expressed his thoughts to the media after making a triumphant debut. Since joining Al-Hilal, he has commented, "I am thrilled by the warm reception and support I've received from both the fans and my teammates."
He said, "Scoring my first goal in my debut game is a moment I will cherish. As we advance, I hope to score more goals and cheer up the supporters. This triumph is only the start.
