Saida: Hammadi Ahmed insists there is still all to play for in the AFC Cup West Asia Zonal final after the Air Force Club forward scored a late goal in a 2-1 first-leg defeat against Syria’s Al Wahda on Tuesday to leave the tie firmly in the balance.
An early strike from Anas Bouta had Al Wahda in front on three minutes at Saida Municipal Stadium before Hadi Al Masri netted shortly after the hour to leave the defending champions with a huge job on their hands to claw their way back into the game.
But Ahmed, who had managed just one goal in the tournament before Tuesday’s encounter, capitalised on a defensive error in the last minute to score what could prove to be a crucial away goal ahead of the second leg in Doha.
