Ahmed Rashid put the home side in front with less than a minute on the clock with a close range finish and Sebastian Tagliabue doubled his side’s lead 23 minutes later with a header.

The Argentinian then scored with a blistering drive nine minutes from time as Al Wahda progressed to take their place in Group D of this year’s competition, where they will join Qatari side Al Rayyan, Persepolis from the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.
