Al Ain: AFC Champions League finalists Al Ain suffered a come-from-behind 2-2 draw at the hands of Baniyas in their UAE League Cup sixth-round match at the Hazad bin Zayed Stadium on Friday (local time).
After a goalless first half, Al Ain started the second period strongly with Danilo Asprilla drawing first blood on 62 minutes before Brazilian Douglas (pictured) doubled the advantage eight minutes later.
However, Daniel Hernández reduced the deficit only two minutes later before Joaquin Larrivey scored the leveller on the 80th-minute mark.
Zlatko Dalić’s side travel to Jeonju to take on Korea Republic’s Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on November 19 for the first-leg of the AFC Champions League final before hosting the 2006 champions in the return fixture a week later.
