Hanoi were left frustrated throughout the contest at the Kim Il-sung Stadium as the 2019 V.League 1 champions struggled to break the deadlock as the game ended goalless in 4.25’s favour, with the Korean side advancing on the away goals following a 2-2 draw in the first leg.

4.25 sealed a place in their inaugural AFC Cup final after playing to a 0-0 draw with Vietnam's Hanoi FC, advancing on away goals after the first leg had ended 2-2.

4.25 will face Lebanon's Al Ahed FC in the AFC Cup final on November 2, in a meeting between two first time finalists.

Al Ahed are in AFC Cup final for the first time and the 42-year-old Marmar said that his side will put their full focus on lifting the Continental trophy.

Ahmed Akaichi's 32nd minute goal on Tuesday proved to be the difference over 180 minutes as Al Ahed advanced to the AFC Cup final 1-0 on aggregate.

Al Ahed, who had kept six clean sheets in the 2019 AFC Cup - more than any other team in the competition - controlled the early stages of the game as they maintained position, but failed to create real threats on Al Jazeera's goal.

The Jordanian side came close to scoring in the 21st minute, when Mahmoud Al Mardi sent a cross from a corner kick towards Yazan Al Arab, however, the defender's powerful header was saved by Al Ahed goalkeeper Mehdi Khalil.

After sharing a goalless draw in the first leg at home last week, Al Jazeera lost in Beirut as Tunisian striker Ahmed Akaichi scored the only goal for Al Ahed at the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium.

With the DPR Korea side 2-1 down at Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi’s goalkeeper Nguyen Van Cong picked up an injury and was replaced by Bui Tien Dung in the 35th minute.

The hosts went on to dominate large spells of the second half but were unable to make their superiority count and, with three minutes to play, Kim’s sweetly struck effort from 25 yards found its way into the back of the net to secure the draw and a potentially crucial second away goal.
