The forward scored one and set up two after Salem Al Dossari’s first strike saw the Asian champions threaten an upset.</p><p>The Asian champions were quick out of the blocks and impressed as Flamengo struggled to get out of first gear. A great chance for Al Dossari was well-saved by Diego Alves, but the Brazilians were already rocking on their heels and, moments later, Al Hilal achieved the knockdown.</p><p>Andre Carrillo spread the ball wide to Mohammed Al Burayk, with the full-back cutting the ball back to the penalty area, and Al Dossari did not pass up this chance.</p><p>Flamengo grew in confidence, but always looked fragile on the break.</p><p>After half-time, they were a different side altogether. Faster, more cohesive and energised by the threat of an early exit, they were level within four minutes. A slick move saw Gabigol, Henrique and De Arrascaeta combine for the Uruguayan to tap in.</p><p>The momentum had swung and while Al Hilal stood strong, in the space of five minutes, their resistance crumbled. Space on the right allowed Rafinha’s pin-point cross to be powered home by Henrique, before he turned provider again, forcing Ali Al Bulayhi to turn into his own net, trying to deny a certain goal.</p><p>The late dismissal of Andre Carrillo a minute later ended all possibility of a revival as Flamengo set their sights on the final.</p>
