The first half was mild with few shots for much of the time.

The duel heated up with the goal scored by Martinelli, at the 39th minute of the game.

In the extra time of the first half, a penalty was awarded to Al-Hilal after Marcos Leonardo fell in the area.

But the move was reviewed by the referee, who annulled the penalty.

After the break the game continued at a strong pace and the Saudi team quickly tied.

In a corner kick play, the ball fell to Marcos Leonardo, who finished to the nets.

And after a moment with attacks exchanged by both sides, Hercules emerged as a hero.

The midfielder received a header pass from Samuel Xavier and finished to the nets, making it 2 x 1.

Al-Hilal pressed in the final minutes by lifting the ball in the area, but Fluminense held on to secure the qualification.
