Amman: Jordan’s Al Wehdat booked a clash with Al Wahda of the UAE in the AFC Champions League Play-offs after beating India’s JSW Bengaluru FC 2-1 in their Preliminary Stage 2 tie on Tuesday.
Palestinian winger Ahmed Wridat sent the home fans at the King Abdullah II International Stadium into delirium when his volley from just inside the box hit the roof of the net three minutes into the second half.
Bengaluru's Sena Ralte then gave away a 65th minute penalty which Baha’ Faisal stepped to convert and extend Al Wehdat’s advantage.
Bengaluru skipper Sunil Chhetri reduced the deficit with a strike from a corner on 68 minutes, but it was a case of too little too late for the Indian side, who will now play in Group E of the AFC Cup.
Al Wehdat will travel to Abu Dhabi to take on Al Wahda at the Al Nahyan Stadium on February 7 for a place in Group D of the AFC Champions League.
