ACL2020: Air conditioning helped Shabab Al Ahli overcome Shahr Khodro, says Zaragoza

Doha: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai FC recorded their first win of the 2020 AFC Champions League, beating Shahr Khodro FC 1-0 at Al Janoub Stadium in Group B on Monday.

A tightly contested game needed a moment of individual brilliance from teenager Harib Abdallah Suhail to tilt it in Shabab Al Ahli’s favour.

The winger embarked on a solo run from the halfway line before calmly placing the ball into the far corner to win it for his team with 15 minutes to go.

Doha:  Al Ahli Saudi FC became the first team to reach the 2020 AFC Champions League Round of 16 thanks to a late Marko Marin goal that earned them a 1-0 win over Iraq’s Al Shorta on Matchday Three of Group A on Monday.

Following the AFC’s COVID-19 Sub Committee for AFC Champions League West decision to consider Al Wahda withdrawn and their matches ‘null and void’, Al Ahli found themselves going into the Matchday Three fixture in need of just three points to guarantee a top-two spot in the now three-team Group A.

ACL2020: Al Taawoun tie marks start of "four finals" run for Persepolis

Doha: After picking up just one point from two matches, Persepolis FC hope to get their campaign up and running as they face Group C leaders Al Taawoun FC on Matchday Three of the 2020 AFC Champions League on Tuesday.

The Iran Pro League champions had a slow start to their continental charge, losing to Al Duhail SC 2-0 then settling for a 2-2 draw against Sharjah back in February, putting them at risk of early elimination for the second year running.

With back-to-back encounters against Al Taawoun to manoeuvre over the next four days, Persepolis’ hopes of progressing to the next round might be fully dependent on collecting points against the Saudi King’s Cup champions.
