Midfielder Federico Valverde missed a stoppage-time penalty as Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in the Club World Cup on Wednesday. 

Al-Hilal started off in effervescent fashion and had an early goal by Salem Aldawsari ruled out for offside. 

Garcia draws first blood

Madrid gradually gained more control over the game and opened the scoring in the 34th minute with striker Gonzalo Garcia — starting in place of the ill Kylian Mbappe — finishing off a low-ball sent into the box by Rodrygo.
