Penalties and expulsion
Before the start in the stadium Ibn Battoutah a minute of silence was observed for the victims of the brutal earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The game started off lopsided for Flamengo. First arrival and penalty for Al Hilal: the right-back Mateuzinho, who won the place in the eleventh against the Uruguayan Guillermo Varela, brought down Vietto. Al-Dawsari did not fail.
Then the Rio de Janeiro team took possession of the ball, trying to find the cracks in the Al Hilal defense with a five-star attacking quartet made up of the Uruguayan Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro, Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro.

Four minutes later Flamengo had the tie, but ‘Gabigol’ did not live up to his prestige with a shot with his shoulder when he was alone. Finally, Al Hilal ruled in a well-tempered transition.
