The AFC Champions League semi-finals have completed a set of matchups, and in the West Asia match, Riyadh Crescent defeated Al Ain 2-1 at home, with an aggregate score of 4: 5 lost to the UAE powerhouse Ain, missed the final, I really didn't expect that the two Asian giants built by Saudi Arabia were eliminated by Ain, first Riyadh won a two-legged draw, and lost to Ain in the penalty shootout, they all felt that Riyadh Victory had a bad defense, and Riyadh Crescent would avenge it, but I didn't expect that the Riyadh Crescent, which had a 240 million lineup, didn't hold up the penalty shootout, and lost the battle.
The first leg of Riyadh Crescent lost 2:4 away, and today it must be a backwater battle back to home, the top scorer Mitrovic is still injured, Shehri is on the front line, and behind him are the four foreign aides Michael, Malcom, Milinkovic and Ruben Neves, but unfortunately the core of the defense Koulibaly is not there, resulting in more instability in the defense.
In the first half of the game, although Ain did not have an advantage in possession, but the number of shots on goal did not fall behind, in the 4th minute, Michael was brought down in the penalty area, Crescent Moon got a penalty opportunity, Ruben Neves hit the penalty, Crescent Moon 1:0, the total score is 3:4 behind.
Just when the momentum of Riyadh's crescent was about to rise, Ain immediately responded, and in the 11th minute, Yahya Nadir crossed in the penalty area, and Eric followed up with the non-stop ball and volleyed directly into the goal, Ain led 1:1 and 5:3 on aggregate.
In the second half of the game, the Riyadh Crescent sideline ball made a miracle and was sent directly to the penalty area, the Ain defender made a mistake in clearing the siege and turned it into an own assist, Dawasari scored directly with a volley, Riyadh Crescent 2:1, and the total score was 4:5 behind.
In the 73rd minute, Waleed crossed from the right, Palacios scored with a header, but Waleed was slightly offside, and Ain's goal was blown away. Rahimi then set up Palacios for another goal, but Ain was whistled for a foul on Rahimi during a steal.
At the end of the game, Riyadh Crescent had 66% possession, 15 shots on goal, 7 shots on target, Ain 7 shots on goal, 2 shots on target, two goals were blown, and the away team lost 1:2, but still eliminated Crescent with an aggregate score of 5:4 and entered the AFC Champions League final.
