That goal was more than a moment. It was a statement of his quality and strength, coming after weeks of speculation linking him with a departure from the club this summer.
Numerous sources suggest this was his last outing in an Al-Hilal shirt, with the Brazilian dropping hints of his own to the fans.
Malcom joined Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023 from Russian side Zenit, at a time when reports had him closing in on a move to Al-Diriyah.
