Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 1 NAV 1 (FT)

A pulsating encounter ends in Riyadh and Al Hilal are held at home by Navbahor. Tabatadze scored an unlikely opener for the Uzbek side but Al Boleahi saved Al Hilal's faces with a 101st minute equalizer. Nevertheless, a superb outing for Navbahor who take a crucial point home from their trip to Saudi.

Nasser Al Dawsari was behind the defense there and his attempted cut back is intercepted by one of the many Navbahor defenders.

Yusupov Save from Mitrovic

Aleksandar Mitrovic's effort is superbly saved by Yusupov. The Navbahor keeper denies the Serbian superbly.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (88')

We can expect a long added time in this match. Hence this match is not just over. Around 12 to 15 minutes of play at least remaining. Hence, still plenty of opportunities for Al Hilal to get something out of it. The latest chance comes to Neymar whose header is straight at Yusupov.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (86')

Ruben Neves and Kanno exchange quick passes and then Neymar's defense-splitting pass takes a heavy touch from Abdulhamid and goes out for a goal kick.

Final Ten minutes of the match and added on time after that. Two Navbahor players are down. Ivanovic seems he can't carry on and Ibrokhim Yuldoshev also looks likely to have played his part in this game.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (79')

Nasser Al Dawsari finds Ruben Neves, whose shot from outside the box is blocked. But it seems the shot was going well off target.

Al Hilal's defense was all opened up again. A better pass would have cleared Tabatadze through on goal.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (69')

Navbahor are heading into the final 20 minutes with a lead, who would have thought that! And there is a chance again for Al Hilal. Michael was through on goal and then his cut back is just behind all the Al Hilal players. The Brazilian should have taken a shot by himself instead of making a pass.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (67')

Neymar and Al Shahrani combine on the left hand side for Al Nassr but then Saul Abdulhamid gives the ball away with a poor pass.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (65')

The Navbahor substitute Abdumannopov looks in distress and is being treated on the field. He is now being taken off with a cart. Maybe the substitute will have to be substituted for the Uzbek club.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor LIVE: HIL 0 NAV 1 (63')

Doniyor Abdumannopov wins the ball and makes a terrific run. In the end the attack fizzles out but that was encouraging from the Navbahor player.

Neymar Cautioned

Neymar shoves Ismoilov and then whacks the ball at him. The Brazilian is shown a Yellow Card and it looks like he is lucky to have escaped a Red there. That was poor from the Al Hilal star and anywhere else he would have got marching orders.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (59')

Ruben Neves finds Neymar but the attack has a premature end as Navbahor win the ball back.

Neymar bruised

Neymar has taken a tumble and looks in massive pain. There was not that much of a contact but the Al Hilal player seems to be in distress.

Al Hilal vs Navbahor Live Score: HIL 0 NAV 1 (55')

Ruben Neves' volleyed effort is parried away by Yusupov. And on the other end, Urunov comes with a shot, but is deemed offside.

Tabatadze and Navbahor Celebrate

That was a superb move and a fantastic finish from the 31-year-old Georgian. Navbahor have endured a lot in defense and then took their chance quite expertly.
