Group B: Al Shabab cruise past Mumbai City to seal Round of 16 berth in style

Riyadh: Al Shabab cruised to the AFC Champions League™ 2022 Round of 16 with an emphatic 6-0 victory over Mumbai City on Matchday Five of Group B at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Friday.

The Saudi side dominated throughout, but it was Mumbai City who looked set to score first when Al Shabab defender Ahmed Sharahili was dispossessed deep inside his own half and Raynier Fernandes fired an effort from the edge of the area that was saved by goalkeeper Fawaz Al Qarni who needed to make a second heroic save to deny Lalengmawia Ralte who pounced on the rebound from six yards out.
