Hilal were held to a 1-1 draw at Sepahan Esfahan in the Asian Champions League group stage Wednesday as striker Ahmed Ali made a cameo appearance.

The Egypt international, who joined Hilal on loan from Ismaili in the winter, was kept on the bench till he replaced Yasser Al-Qahtani on 73 minutes.

However, Ali couldn't snatch a winner for the Saudi giants.

The Dean took the lead right after the interval, thanks to a strike from Abdullah Al-Zori but the hosts' Moharram Navidkia brought the score level six minutes from the hour mark.

Hilal are now keeping pace with Sepahan, who are leading Group A on goal difference. Both teams are on ten points.
