Mohamed Kanno headed in a corner to increase Al Hilal's lead on 57 minutes and Salem Al Dawsari added a fourth with a composed finish at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium.

Moussa Marega and Andre Carrillo completed a thumping win with late goals for Leonardo Jardim's side, the record four-time Asian champions and 17-time Saudi league winners.

Al Hilal will take on European champions Chelsea at the same ground on Wednesday for a place in the February 12th final.
