Iraq’s Al Shorta SC ended a four-match losing run after beating Qatar’s Al Duhail SC 2-1 on Matchday Five of the 2021 AFC Champions League Group C yesterday.
The result was a blow to Al Duhail’s Round of 16 hopes, with the Qatari side having entered the tie with an unbeaten record as group leaders while Al Shorta - already eliminated - were looking for their first points of the campaign.
The Iraqi side started with a bang, taking the lead inside three minutes after Fahad Youssef’s cross from the left flank was deflected into the path of the onrushing Amjad Attwan, who hit a powerful effort on the volley that nestled in the back of the net despite goalkeeper Salah Zakaria’s desperate attempt to parry it.

Al Sadd SC placed themselves in pole position in Group D of the 2021 AFC Champions League with a 1-0 win over Foolad Khouzestan FC in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, yesterday

Foolad s hunt for top spot, however, came to an end although the Islamic Republic of Iran side can still advance if they finish among the three best second-placed teams.
