Rim Chang-woo’s first-half strike saw Al Wahda go into the interval all square with Al Rayyan on Matchday One only to finish the game on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline. The Emiratis’ last home game in the competition, though, was a 2-0 victory over Tuesday’s visitors back in 2011. Persepolis were just eight minutes away from opening their campaign with a win after Mohsen Mosalman opened the scoring against Al Hilal before their Saudi Arabian opponents levelled through Brazilian Carlos Eduardo in the final 10 minutes.
