Defeat for Ighalo’s Al Hilal, but they still reach Champions League R16

Odion Ighalo was in action for Al Hilal in the Asian Champions League clash against Al Rayyan in the final group A clash at the Prince Faisal Fahd Stadium on Wednesday.

However Ighalo and his teammates could not make home advantage count as they lost 2-0 to the visitors from Qatar.

Al Hilal endured a poor start to the clash when South Korean defender Jang Hyun-soo diverted a cross into his own net in the 5th minute.

The visitors got a second, Yohan Boli sunk the hearts of the home fans two minutes before the break with a clinical effort.

In the second-half, the hosts dominated the possession and attempted 25 shots — with only four hitting the target – but none of them beat the goalkeeper.

However the defeat was inconsequential as Al Hilal qualified for the round of 16 as the Group winners.

They gained 13 points from 6 games same as Al Rayyan, but Al Hilal held on to top spot, thanks to their superior goal difference.
