The draw meant both teams dropped their first points of the season to trail leaders Al-Ittihad by two points after two rounds of Saudi Pro League action.
Al-Qadisah shocked the home team by taking a sixth minute lead through Ghanian forward Bonsu Baah’s low finish to the right of Al-Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
The visitors managed to hold on to the lead until half-time, but after only four minutes of the second half Al-Hilal were back on level terms. A flowing move ended with a Malcolm cross from the right that allowed Darwin Nunez to tap home the equalizer. It was the Uruguay and former Liverpool forward’s first goal for the club.
