How close was that from Majrashi!! The right back was allowed some space in front of the box, and he let fly. Hamada left it, thinkking it would go over, but it dipped viciously and crashed against the crossbar.

Dabbagh draws Palestine level!!! A brilliant whipped delivery from the right Sawafta is touched down by Dabbagh, who then fires it from close range past Al-Aqidi.
Lifeline for Saudi Arabia!!! Salem Al-Dawsari tries to cut inside from the left, but he is brought down by Saleh. The referee points to the spot. Al-Buraikan makes no mistake from 12 yards, sending Hamada the wrong way.
It's more of the same in the second half, with both sides resorting to efforts from distance. Palestine's Hamdan tries his luck from 25 yards out after Saudi fail to clear the corner, but it flies way into top tiers of the stands.
The referee blows his whistle and get the second half underway. No change at the break for either side, but will we see a change in the tactics? Stay tuned!
The referee blows his whistle right at mintue 45, and the first half comes to an end. It has been a rather boring half of football, with very little to write about. Hopefully, the game will open up more in the second half.
Just 10 minutes of regulation time remain in the first half, and we are yet to have our first shot on target from either side. It has been a closely contested fight, for sure, but both managers will be looking for the half-time whistle to make some tactical tweaks.
It has been a game of few chances, band Palestine have their first sight of goal. A long ball is floated into the box, with two players attacking, but Al-Aqidi comes out and punches it away before Dabbagh can get at the end of it.
It has been a pretty cagey start to the match from both sides, with neither side looking to concede the eraly goal. Salem Al-Dawsari has the first shot of the night, trying to get around his marker, but it's deflected behind for a corner.
Referee Amin Mohamed Omar blows his whistle, and Palestine get tonight's quarter-final underway. Stay tuned for live updates from the game!
