Al Ain: Qatar's Al Duhail continued their impressive run in the 2018 AFC Champions League with an impressive 4-2 away win over UAE's Al Ain in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium on Tuesday.
The visitors started the game the more energetic side and stunned the home fans when Moroccan striker Youssef El Arabi struck in the 16th minute.
Al Ain goalkeeper Khaled Eisa did well to save El Arabi's initial header but the Al Duhail frontman pounced on the rebound and hit a powerful effort that went in off Mohamed Ahmed.
Nam Tae-hee then doubled the lead for the Qataris in the 39th minute with a magnificent solo effort. The Korea Republic star nutmegged Ahmed Barman near the halfway line before sprinting away from Mohammed Abdulrahman and netting past Eisa to make it 2-0.
