The football club "Al-Vasl" is facing the most challenging test of the season, when this evening they meet with the Qatari club "Al-Saad" in the 1/16 finals of the AFC Champions League. The match starts at 22:00 at the Jassim bin Hamad stadium in the Qatari capital Doha. "Imperator" hopes to repeat the "Leader" achievement, just as he did in January of this year, securing a 1:0 victory at the same stadium during the Super Cup match of the Emir and Qatar.
"Al-Vasl" has two options to advance to the next stage after a draw result in the first game on their field last week. Today's victory would strengthen the club's position in the tournament, while a defeat would mean exclusion from the competition. In the case of a draw, the match will proceed to additional time. The club aims to continue its successful performance in the current AFC Champions League season, especially playing as guests.
After the first match, "Al-Saad" played a game in the Qatari league, securing a major victory over "Al-Shahaniya" with a score of 5:0. The goals were scored by Da Silva (double), Afif (double), and Modjika. The club rose to second place in the Qatari championship, having earned 40 points and continues to chase the leader - "Al-Duhail", which has 41 points.
After the conclusion of the 1/8 finals matches, on March 17, there will be a draw for the team compositions of the quarterfinals. Four clubs from Western and Eastern Asia will be represented in the tournament, and then matches of the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will be held in Jeddah from April 25 to May 3.
