"Christopher Bonsu Baah tucked home for the visitors in the sixth minute, after Al-Hilal were guilty of overplaying near the edge of their own area. That was Al-Qadsiah's only shot on target during the opening 45 minutes, but they reached the interval 1-0 up, with Nunez wasting one excellent headed chance. But the former Liverpool man did get his first goal since making a £46m move to the Gulf in the 49th minute, finishing left-footed after Malcolm motored down the right to cross."
"Nunez earned a reputation for letting big chances go to waste during his time at Anfield, and though he got off the mark for his new team on Saturday, it was a similar story. Nunez led all players on the pitch for shots (six) and touches in the opposing penalty area (nine), with two big chances falling his way, as defined by Opta."
Al-Qadsiah took an early lead when Christopher Bonsu Baah scored in the sixth minute after Al-Hilal overplayed near their area. Al-Hilal equalised through Darwin Nunez in the 49th minute, but Julian Quinones restored Al-Qadsiah's lead almost immediately. Ruben Neves converted a 73rd-minute penalty to level the match at 2-2 after Bonsu Baah fouled Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Nunez led the match for shots (six) and touches inside the opposing box (nine) and had two big chances, including a missed headed opportunity with a 0.53 xG and a scored chance with a 0.22 xG.
