Jeddah, MINA – Al-Hilal and Al-Sadd drew 3-3 after 90 minutes of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Elite Round of 16 match at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Sports City Stadium in Jeddah on Monday.

The Boss’ three goals were scored by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Salem Al-Dawsari, and Marcos Leonardo.

However, every time Al-Hilal scored, Al-Sadd players, Claudinho, Rafa Mujica, and Roberto Firmino, responded shortly after.

The draw forced extra time, as the match was played as a single-leg match, not a two-legged match, due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
