Nigerian international, Odion Ighalo, was again on the scoresheet for his Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in a 3-3 draw against Al Wehda in the Saudi Arabia Pro League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 33-year old forward who scored four goals in his last game in the Asia champions League scored in the early minutes of the second half as his side failed to close the gap on Christian Ronaldo's Al Nassr who are top of the summit.

Brazilian Micheal handed Al Hilal an early lead in just two minutes from the kickoff at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium in Mecca before Costa Rican Oscar Duarte restored parity for the home side 22 minutes later, taking the game into a 1-1 scoreline at halftime.

Odion Ighalo then scored his sixth goal in three matches six minutes from the break after connecting with a pass from FIFA Club World Cup's silver ball winner Luciano Vitetto which put his side 2-1 up, his ninth league goal of the season.

The hosts leveled matters for the second time in the 57th minutes, Al Hilal thought they had won the game with a 93rd minute strike from Saud Abdulhamid but a last minute goal from the home side reduced the away side's points to one.
