Egypt striker Ali played for more than an hour as the Saudi champions were lifted by two second-half goals from Yasser Al-Qahtani and Ahmed Al-Fraidi.

Hilal finish as runner-up in Group A, leveling on 13 points with leaders Sepahan Esfahan, who has a better goal difference after thrashing UAE’s Jazeera 4-1.

Hilal complete a quartet of Saudi clubs in the competition as Nassr, Shabab and Ittihad Jeddah have all qualified for the knockouts.

Gabriel Calderon's men will face league rivals Ittihad in the last 16.
