Real Madrid missed a late penalty as Simone Inzaghi\u2019s Al Hilal produced an excellent performance to secure a 1-1 draw in their opening game at the Club World Cup.
Madrid\u2019s young centre forward Gonzalo Garcia broke the deadlock after a neat passing move in first half, which came moments after their new coach Xabi Alonso had issued instructions to his team at a first-half cooling break.
Then Ruben Neves levelled from the penalty spot for Al Hilal shortly before the break. after a clumsy foul in the penalty area by Madrid centre-back Raul Asencio.
And the Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou held his nerve in the 92nd minute, diving low to his right to keep out Federico Valverde\u2019s tame penalty kick.

Manchester City began their Club World Cup with a 2-0 victory against Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia.
In a tournament as young as the new-look Club World Cup it\u2019s not difficult to set records, and that\u2019s what Phil Foden duly did \u2014 scoring after only one minute and 51 seconds to give his team a landmark lead. But the Moroccan side settled well after that setback, creating several opportunities and taking advantage of some unconvincing defending from Vitor Reis.
City were two up at half-time, though, a Jeremy Doku finish from a Foden set piece doubling their advantage.
And Pep Guardiola\u2019s side \u2014 which featured new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki in the starting XI \u2014 comfortably saw out the second half, with Erling Haaland and Rodri among the players brought on from the bench. A late \u2014 and slightly harsh \u2014 red card for Rico Lewis proving the only negative for City.
