VARIOUS OF PLAYERS CELEBRATING AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE STORY: Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal won 4-0 against Iraq's Al Shorta in Riyadh on Tuesday (November 25) to book their place in the knockout rounds of the Asian Champions League Elite with a fifth win in a row. Marcos Leonardo scored twice to move Simone Inzaghi's side on to a maximum 15 points from the opening five matches in the 12-team western league phase and qualify for the last 16. The Brazilian opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time with a bullet header past Hasan Ahmed while Ahmed Yahia's 61st-minute sending off for a second bookable offence left Al Shorta with what proved to be an insurmountable task. Goalkeeper Ahmed allowed Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's header to slip through his hands as Al Hilal doubled their lead two minutes later, while Leonardo nodded in the third with 18 minutes left and Joao Cancelo hit the fourth in added time. The top eight finishers in both the western and eastern league phases advance to March's Round of 16, with the quarter-finals, semis and final to be played on a centralised basis in Saudi Arabia in April.
