HONG KONG (Reuters) - Peru international Andre Carrillo's second half header gave Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal a 1-0 win against Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds in the first leg of the Asian Champions League final in Riyadh on Saturday night.

Carrillo nodded into an empty net after goalkeeper Haruki Fukushima misread Mohammed Al Burayk's cross from the right on the hour mark to give the two-time Asian champions a narrow advantage ahead of the return fixture in Japan on Nov. 24.
