RABAT: The drums rang loud for Morocco's Wydad AC on a sunny and dramatic Saturday afternoon in Rabat at the FIFA Club World Cup, but they were ultimately silenced by Al-Hilal’s Musab Al-Juwayr.

The teenage midfielder scored the final kick to win a  penalty shootout 5-3 for the Saudi Arabian giants after the game had ended 1-1.

The Asian champions go through at the expense of their African counterparts to the  semi-finals and a clash with Brazil’s Flamengo.

It should be quite a match if this was anything to go by. Two hours of action packed football ended 1-1 but there was much more to it than that.
