    FT: Al-Ahly 1-4 Real Madrid!! All over in Rabat and Madrid will face Al-Hilal in the final. Vinicius and Valverde struck either side of half-time, but Maaloul's penalty put Al-Ahly back in the game. Modric saw a spot kick saved, but Rodrygo struck in added time to end it. Arribas then came on at the end and scored with practically his first touch to make it four. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Real Madrid double sub: Sherif and Dieng are replaced by Tau and Fathi.
  • 58'
    Ancelotti is perplexed.
  • 58'
    Vinicius is getting treatment and the VAR inexplicably says play on! Baffling.
  • 56'
    Vinicius wants a penalty as he gets past Mahmoud into the box and the defender then catches him from behind! That's a penalty and it should be a penalty. The ref's original decision was a corner.

    HT: Al-Ahly 0-1 Real Madrid!! Half-time in Morocco and Madrid have been the better side. Vinicius' 42nd minute goal after a defensive error is the difference so far. Madrid hit the post before the goal while Rudiger also had a chance, but Al-Ahly aren't out of this as Sherif, Abdelmonem and El Shahat have threatened Lunin's goal. Back shortly!
  • 45'
