AL AHLI DEFENDER, MATTEO DAMS, AFTER MATCH STORY: Al Ahli snuck past Al Sadd with a 2-1 win in the Asian Champions Elite in Doha on Tuesday (November 4). The win means the Saudi side are second in Group B on 10 points from four matches ahead of Al Wahda on goal difference and behind Saudi Pro League rivals Al Hilal, who are in first with a perfect 12 points. Al Ahli captain Riyad Mahrez was first on the board for the visitors in the 34th minute with the first half closing out at 1-0. Al Sadd’s Claudinho leveled for the home side with a high boot off the crossbar in the 63rd. But just four minutes later, Al Ahli’s Galeno fed the ball to Matheus Goncalves who scored the winner from a tight angle with a shot off the goalkeeper’s gloves. The top eight finishers in the 12-team table advance to March's knockout rounds with the quarter-finals, semis and final to be played on a centralised basis in Saudi Arabia in April.
