MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
13' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID! Vinicius Jr is played in by Benzema and calmly slides the ball under the Al-Hilal keeper and into the net.
18' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID! Modric's cross from the right flank was half-cleared by Jang to Valverde 12 yards out whose deflected strike off AlBulaihi and into the net.
26' GOAL FOR AL HILAL! Did not see that happening! Marega was played through on goal and made no mistake as his effort squeezed past Lunin and into the net. Rudiger played him onside.
54' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID! Surely that settles it. It came through a predictable route with Vinicius Jr putting in a fantastic cross with the outside of his right foot which Benzema couldn't fail to put in the back of the net.
58' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID! Valverde gets in on the act. He plays the ball wide to Carvajal then runs into the area to collect a diagonal return pass and clip the ball deliciously over the Al-Hilal stopper and into the net.
63' GOAL FOR AL HILAL! Lovely goal from Vietto. A good ball through from Abdulhamid and a measured clipped finish over the Real keeper from the Argentine star.
69' GOAL FOR REAL MADRID! Vinicius Jr tried to dribble in the box but was dispossessed and then Ceballos beat a man but the ball ran perfectly into the path of the Brazilian winger who stroked the ball inside the far post.
79' GOAL FOR AL HILAL! And it's the goal of the night. Marvellous skill from Vietto as he retries a pull-back from Michael which is too far behind him and effortlessly turns 180 degrees and puts it into the net.
