Hat-trick hero Carlos Eduardo eyes continental glory with Al Hilal

Riyadh: Carlos Eduardo has set his sights on winning the AFC Champions League after the Brazilian netted a superb treble in Al Hilal’s 3-0 quarter-final second leg victory over Al Ain on Monday to advance to the last four by the same aggregate scoreline.

After the Saudi Arabian side held the 2016 runners-up to a scoreless draw in the United Arab Emirates last month, they returned home looking to progress to a third semi-final in four years.

And the more than 42,000 inside King Fahd International Stadium were not to be disappointed as Carlos Eduardo’s stunning hat-trick sealed a return to the last four after missing out last year.
