'The best is yet to come from Al Wahda in AFC Champions League,' says ten Cate after beating Sharjah

Sharjah: Al Wahda FSCC head coach Henk ten Cate insists his side has a lot more to offer after they defeated compatriots Sharjah FC 5-4 on penalties in the 2021 AFC Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday.

The Abu Dhabi side opened the scoring in the 56th minute through Syrian striker Omar Khribin but were instantly pegged back with Bernard equalising for the hosts.

The game went all the way to a penalty shootout in which goalkeeper Mohammed Al Shamsi made two saves to guide Al Wahda to their first appearance in the quarter-finals since 2007.
