AlHilal earned a narrow 1-0 victory over Al Ittihad in a closely fought Libyan Premier League derby on August 7, 2025. The solitary goal of the match was enough to separate the two Tripoli-based rivals, with AlHilal showing great defensive resolve to protect their lead. The match was tense and tactical, with the decisive moment coming from a set-piece or a moment of individual quality that broke the deadlock. Both teams had periods of pressure, but AlHilal's goalkeeper and defense stood firm to secure a crucial clean sheet. The three points from this head-to-head clash were vital for AlHilal's position in the league table, moving them ahead of their local rivals. Al Ittihad's manager would have been frustrated by his team's inability to convert their possession into a goal, while AlHilal's coach praised his team's fighting spirit.
