King’s Cup quarter-final draw pits Al-Shabab against Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal host Al-Taawoun

RIYADH: The draw for the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup has produced an all-Riyadh clash between Al-Shabab and Al-Nassr, while defending holders Al-Hilal will welcome the Saudi Pro League’s surprise package, Al-Taawoun.

The other two matches see SPL champions Al-Ittihad visit Al-Faisaly while Abha host Al-Khaleej.

The matches take place on Dec. 11-12 with the exception of the game involving Al-Ittihad, who will be taking part in the FIFA Club World Cup at the time.

Al-Hilal claimed the cup last season following a 7-6 penalty shootout win over Al-Wehda after the final had ended 1-1 after extra time.
