Al Sadd's second half show was key in AFC Champions League win over Al Ain, says Khoukhi

Doha: Al Sadd SC's ability to raise their game in the second half was the reason for the Qatar side's 4-0 win over Al Ain FC in Group D of the 2020 AFC Champions League on Friday.

Al Sadd led 1-0 going into the half-time break but turned on the power in the second period to score an emphatic win which took them to eight points and well in sight of a berth in the Round of 16.
