Late Hamdallah strike keeps Al-Ittihad on track in Asian Champions League



JEDDAH: A last-gasp strike from Abderrazak Hamdallah gave Al-Ittihad a dramatic and valuable 1-0 win over Iraq’s Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya on Monday as they took control of Group C in the Asian Champions League. 

After two games of the continental competition, the Saudi Arabian title holders have six points and are on course for a place in the last 16.

But for a long time in Jeddah it looked like it was not going to happen.

In fact, for 93 minutes Al-Ittihad had endured a frustrating evening, the second in succession in the competition.
