Titleholders Al-Hilal storm into quarterfinals of AFC Champions League


Tue, 2023-02-21 03:00

DOHA: Al-Hilal moved closer to Asian title number five after the defending champions booked a berth in the last eight of the Asian Champions League on Monday with a 3-1 win over Shabab Al-Ahli of the UAE.

It was a clinical performance from a team that just loves the tournament, and not many would bet against a third triumph in four years.

As soon as Odion Ighalo fired home the 17th-minute opener, the four-time winners looked to be on their way to the quarters, although the ride was bumpy at times until Jang Hyun-soo provided a second-half cushion.
