Air Force Club 1-0 Al Wahda
West Asia Zonal Final, Second Leg, September 26, 2017

Where better to start than the match that crowned the very first AFC Cup West Zonal champion? And what a dramatic occasion it was.

Having lost 2-1 in the first leg against Syria's Al Wahda, holders Air Force Club of Iraq were about to see their AFC Cup title defence end as a goalless second leg entered injury time.

But there was to be a twist to the tale as Amjad Radhi rose highest to head home Humam Tareq's delivery in the fourth minute of added time as Air Force Club claimed a dramatic away goals win. The Iraqis would go on to lift the trophy that year before winning it again in 2018.

Malkiya 3-4 Air Force Club
Group A, Matchday Three, 13 March, 2018

Air Force Club feature in our next entry with a comeback for the ages when they were hosted by Malkiya of Bahrain in their most recent AFC Cup campaign in March 2018.

Appearing in their debut in the competition, the 2016-2017 Bahrain champions got off to an astonishing start at Khalifa Sports City Stadium with a quickfire Isal Abdul Albari brace and then Israa Hamwiah's strike putting them 3-0 up inside the opening quarter of an hour.

Zaher Al Midani did pull one back for the shell-shocked holders before half-time, but with 20 minutes to go the visitors still found themselves two goals down. And yet Air Force Club were not finished.

In sensational scenes, Amjed Radhi and then Hammadi Ahmed found the net to restore parity by 79 minutes, before Radhi added the icing on the cake with an injury-time winner.

Hilal Alquds 2-6 Al Wehdat
Group A, Matchday Two, March 11, 2019

A first-ever Group Stage appearance for Palestine's Hilal Alquds and a first-ever home tie in the AFC Cup against opponents Al Wehdat of Jordan, who have strong Palestinian ties. The scene was set for a memorable encounter and Baha Faisal ensured that was to be the case.

After goals had been exchanged by Mohammad Al Basha and Hani Abdallah in the opening half hour of the tie in Al Ram, Al Wehdat striker Faisal struck in emphatic style, hitting a six-minute hat-trick, among the tournament's fastest recorded.

Saleh Rateb added Al Wehdat's fifth on 78 minutes before Faisal completed his quadruple with four minutes remaining to cap a stunning outing for the Zarqa-native.

There was still time for a consolation goal from the penalty spot for Oday Dabbagh to make the scoreline 6-2, to complete a high-scoring occasion that is sure to live long in the memory.

Al Ansar 4-3 Al Faisaly
Group B, Matchday Two, February 24, 2020

It was the campaign that started but never finished, although that's not to say the 2020 AFC Cup didn't provide some memorable moments. Arguably the pick of the games was between Lebanon's Al Ansar and Jordan's Al Faisaly as the teams played out a seven-goal thriller in Beirut.

Two-time winners Al Faisaly struck first via Anas Al Jbarat on 10 minutes but the hosts levelled soon after as fan favourite Hassan Maatouk headed home, before El Hadje Malick Tall prodded home to give Al Ansar a 2-1 lead at the interval.

Hassan Chaito opened up a two-goal advantage shortly after the restart but Al Faisaly fought back as an Ahmad Ersan brace brought the sides level with a little under 10 minutes remaining.

And there remained time for one last twist in the tale as, with the game deep into stoppage time, Al Jbarat upended Tall and the referee pointed to the spot. Cue Tall once more, and the Senegalese striker no mistake, coolly placing into the top left corner to seal all three points for Al Ansar.
