    Hyeon Soo jang (56 mins)

    This is a very enjoyable match indeed.

    PSG just cannot get rid of the Allstars, who equalise once more.

    It's defender Hyeon Soo jang who stoops at the near post to flick in the perfectly delivered corner kick.

    Sergio Ramos (53 mins)

    PSG retake the lead!

    Kylian Mbappe makes mincemeat of Saud Abdulhamid, turning the full-back inside out.

    The Frenchman rolls the ball to the edge of the six yard box and Sergio Ramos - what's he doing there??? - is on hand to finish off.

    You know what he's going to do, you just can't stop him from doing it.

    Kylian Mbappe jinks to go down the line but cuts inside before curling a strike towards the far corner which Mohamed al Owais pushes away at full stretch.

    The lads from Riyadh are really going for it.

    Sub Anderson Talisca comes inches away from giving the Saudi outfit the lead, but he smacks a left-footed effort which sails narrowly over the angle.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is on a hat-trick in his first appearance since moving to Saudi Arabia.

    He's sporting a lovely shiner under his left eye, where he was caught by Keylor Navas in the first half.

    WHAT is going on!

    The Allstars level in injury-time in the first-half.

    Oh my!

    What an embarrassing penalty from Neymar, trying to psyche out the goalkeeper but Mohammed al Owais was not to be outdone, waiting and then diving the right way to collect the Brazilian's poor, poor, stuttering penalty.

    Marrquinhos (42 mins)

    PSG have been reduced to 10 men but retake the lead.

    What a delightful finish from Messi? Nope. Mbappe? Nope. Not even Neymar.

    But it's centre-back Marquinhos who came up for the corner and clips in a very cute finish from the Frenchman's cross.

    He had to show quick feet there.
