Referee Sergei Karasev blows his whistle, and the match is underway in Riyadh. Al-Hilal in their home colours attacking from the get go in a packed Kingdom Arena – it doesn't get better than this!

What a brilliant early chance for the home side. Malcom makes a darting run into the box, and after a deft one-two with Leonardo, has a shot towards the near post, but it goes inches wide of the post. Scary pace up front for Al-Hilal.

Sakala thought he had put Al Feiha ahead with a thunderous strike that nestled in the bottom corner, but the assistant's flag is up for offside. Replays show the striker off, but just about. Al-Hilal move ahead with more intent, but the visitors are compact at the back.

Sakala puts Al Feiha ahead, and it's a proper calamity at the back from the home side!! After Al-Hilal lose the ball in the middle of the ball, a long ball is played towards their box. Al-Yami comes out to clear it but only manages a weak touch that falls straight to Sakala, who rolls it into an empty net.

Half an hour of football has been played in Riyadh, and the home side can't find a way beyond Al Feiha's backline. The visitors are happy to sit back and absorb the pressure – which is quite intense – before looking to find one of their runners with a long ball.

The Al Feiha backlien finally breaks under intense pressure from the home side, and Milinkovic-Savic draws the Blue Waves level with a stunning bicycle kick goal!! The Feiha defenders failed to clear the ball from their area, and Leonardo chipped in a ball into the box which is met by Milinkovic-Savic, whose acrobatic effort goes past the goalkeeper.

Al-Hilal have completed the turnaround!! It all came from a terrific orner floated in towards the near post by Neves. Mosquera came forward to punch it clear, but he can't get a strong enough hand on it, instead deflecting it inside the post. Heartbreak for the Al Feiha goalkeeper.

Both teams are out of the tunnel, and Al Feiha get the second half underway. The visitors are trailing by one goal, but they will look for a bright start to get something out of this match. No changes at the break for either side as far as I can see.

Absolutely sublime football from Al-Hilal, with Leonardo putting the ball into the back of the net. However, it won't count, as Milinkovic-Savic was offside when the ball was played by Nunez. Still, it was brilliant from the Serb, who cut it back for Leonardo to beat the goalkeeper.

Mohamed Kanno, you beauty!! The Saudi forward puts the hosts two goals ahead at the hour mark. Credit must go to Neves, who floated in a perfect delivery from the right flank that found Kanno, who leaped and fired a bullet header that gave Mosquera no chance.

A brave call from the visitors, bringing on former England international defender Chris Smalling in place of Jason, a striker. Silvere Ganvoula also replaces Al Sahafi. Al Feiha seem more interested in damage control rather than targetting a positive result tonight.

With time ticking away, Al Feiha turn to their bench once again. Goalscorer Fashion Sakala comes off for Rakan Kaabi, and Sabri Abdu Dahal replaces Alfa Semedo in the middle of the park. The visitors are trying to piece some passes together, but Al-Hilal are controlling the tempo of the match.

If anyone has deserved a goal tonight, it's Marcos Leonardo. The Brazilian has been tireless with his attacking movement,s and finally gets on the scoresheet to increase Al-Hilal's advantage. Again, another pin-point delivery from Neves from the flanks, and it's headed in by the diving Leonardo past Mosquera.
