Sharayea: AFC Champions League quarter-finalists Al Ahli claimed third place in the 2013 King Cup of Champions tournament with a 2-0 victory over recently-crowned Saudi champions Al Fateh.
Mustafa Al Bassas, scorer of Al Ahli’s second goal as the Jeddah giants defeated El Jaish 2-0 in the second leg of their ACL Round of 16 clash for a 3-1 aggregate defeat of the Qataris, opened the scoring with just two minutes of the third-place playoff at the King Abdulaziz Sport City Stadium played.
Former Al Hilal striker Eysa Al Mahyani struck in the 27th minute with what was ultimately the final goal.
Al Ahli, runners-up in last year’s AFC Champions League, will learn this season’s last-eight opponents when the draw for the finals of the 2013 edition of Asia’s premier club takes place at AFC House on June 20.
