In a nail-biting showdown, UAE's Al-Ain secured their place in the Asian Champions League final with a 5-4 aggregate win over Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal, despite a 2-1 loss in Tuesday's second leg. The drama unfolded as Al-Hilal's Ruben Neves and Salem Al-Dawsari scored, but their efforts couldn't erase a first-leg deficit. Al-Ain’s Erik Jorgens delivered a clutch goal, turning the match into a rollercoaster for fans.
The game kicked off with fireworks: Neves converted a VAR-reviewed penalty just four minutes in, while Jorgens’ slick finish kept Al-Ain’s hopes alive. Al-Hilal, cheered on by injured star Neymar (yes, that Neymar ), pushed hard but couldn’t find the decisive third goal.
Now, Al-Ain awaits the winner of Wednesday’s semi-final between South Korea’s Ulsan Hyundai and Japan’s Yokohama F Marinos. The final’s first leg kicks off May 11, with the return match in Al-Ain two weeks later. Will this be their year? Stay tuned!
