Al Hilal Saudi Arabia challenges "Corona" and qualifies for the 16th round of the AFC Champions League

The Saudi Al Hilal team qualified for the 16th round of the AFC Champions League, after its goalless draw with its Iranian counterpart Shaher Khodro on Sunday in the fifth round of Group Two.

The two teams failed to take advantage of all the opportunities they had in front of the two goals, so that each got a point.

Al-Hilal raised its score to 11 points at the top of the standings, while Shaher Khodro scored his first point in the tournament.

The youth team of Al-Ahly Dubai and Bakhtkur of Uzbekistan meet later in the day, and whatever the outcome of the match will end, Al Hilal will advance to the next round.

Despite the many absences in the ranks of Al Hilal, due to Corona virus injuries, the team succeeded in stopping the danger of Shaher Khodro's players and qualifying for the round of sixteen.

Coach Razvan Lucescu, coach of Al Hilal, had to involve a number of young players and rely on André Carrillo in the center of the attack, although Al Hilal relied on pressure on the ball carrier from the opposing team to prevent them from building attacks and threatening the goal.
