Al Hilal battle to impressive draw against Real Madrid in Club World Cup

Real Madrid's Club World Cup campaign began with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Al Hilal, despite a late penalty opportunity. Federico Valverde's missed spot-kick denied Xabi Alonso a winning start as manager. Al Hilal's Ruben Neves earlier converted a penalty to cancel out Gonzalo's opener, securing a valuable point for the Saudi Arabian side.
