Tin Cat: The unit stands to qualify without waiting for other people's gifts
Al-Wehda achieved a series of good results that brought it closer to the Asian 16th round.
From the source
Al-Wehda placed the qualification cards for the 16th round of the AFC Champions League in his hands, after he defeated Persepolis of Iran, with a goal without response, the day before yesterday, in the fifth round of the group stage.
The tournament system requires qualifying the top 10 groups directly, along with the best six clubs occupying second place, including three from the west of the continent, and the same from the east.
Al-Annabi needs to beat India’s Goa tomorrow to ensure that they qualify officially without waiting for the results of others.
Al-Wehda raised its score to 10 points in the fifth runners-up, compared to 12 for the leaders Persepolis, three Lagua, and two for Rayyan.
For his part, the coach of the unit, the Dutch Tin Cat, confirmed that "his team adheres to the opportunity to qualify without waiting for gifts from anyone."
He said in the press conference: “Tactical discipline helped us and take advantage of the opportunities that were available to us to get the required result. That we faced them in the round match ».
Al-Wehda had tied without goals with India's Goa, in the first round match of the tournament.
As for the other qualification scenarios for unity, a draw may be sufficient, especially since Annabi beats a number of second-placed holders in other groups, such as the Iranian Tractor (second), Iranian independence (third), and Saudi victory (fourth).
A point in front of Goa takes Al-Wahda to the Round of 16, but the loss may complicate his mission, as he will have to wait for the rest of the last round matches in the other four groups to find out his position on qualifying.
Al-Wahda decides to qualify directly if it defeats Goa by a difference of more than five goals, and Persepolis tied with Al-Rayyan in a negative way, or the Iranian team wins and loses to Al-Rayyan.
Unit qualification scenario
1- Win or draw with Goa.
2- The loss forces him to wait for the results of the other groups.
3- Qualifying at the top by beating Goa, and losing Persepolis from Al Rayyan.
