The referee blows his whistle, and we are underway in Dammam! Stay tuned for live updates from the match.

What a way to take the lead!!! Neves scored directly from the corner, and the visitors are ahead. The Portuguese midfielder floated the ball towards the far corner, and it beat Casteels, who was scampering back at full strecth.

Nandez draws Qadisiyah level!! A hopefull ball forward from near the halfway line by Al-Juwayr beat the Al-Hilal offside trap and found the run of Nandez, who calmly slotted it past Bono to make it one-all.

Half-time at the Saudi Pro League clash, and it’s all square! Al-Hilal struck first through Neves's outrageous Olimpico, but Al-Qadisiyah responded instantly with Nández making it 1-1 just two minutes later. Plenty still to play for in the second half.

The referee blows his whistle to get the second half underway. No changes at the break from either side.

Al-Dawsari misses a penalty!! The Blue Waves were handed a freebie after a foul in the box by Thikri. The Al-Nassr skipper stepped up to take the resulting spot kick, but his weak attempt is saved by Casteels. The match remains level!

Quinones has put Al-Qadisiyah ahead!! Another assist for Al-Juwayr, whose corner towards the middle of the box is headed past the goalkeeper by the Mexican forward. Less than 15 minutes remain for Al-Hilal to respond.

Al-Dawsari makes up for his earlier penalty miss by finding the back of the net to level the scores!! A free-kick from the right is not cleared properly by the defenders and falls to Al-Dawsawi, who volleys it first time from the edge of the box. The ball flies past the horde of bodies and the goalkeeper to nestle in the top corner.

It's all over in Dammam, and both sides share a point after an intensely contested match. The two stunning goals for Al-Hilal will steal the headlines, but the Blue Waves will be disappointed not to return home with all three points.
