It's third against seventh from the league stage in the west as he runs
Tractor FC and Shabab Al Ahly from Dubai face off in the round of 16 at the Prince Abdullah
Al Faisal Sport City Stadium in Jeddah. Knockout football with everything on the line
and the place in the quarterfinals up for grabs. 14th minute of play. First bit of action from
Shabab Al Ahly here without a win in the last three AFC Champions League matches. Chance to
break the deadlock in the opening stages here in this last 16 knockout clash. That's a save
denying Yuri Cezar the opening goal. Ali Reza been unmarked off his line early. Does really well
to keep the Shabab Al Ahly striker out. Best chance for Tractor FC in the first half coming
in the 32nd minute. Tibor Halilovic just outside the box. Dreads is effort wide so nothing to
separate the two. No goals at the break. Into the second half Shabab Al Ahly with the better start.
Lovely through ball to Sadr Azmoun who's brought down by Ali Reza. It's a straight red for the
Tractor FC goalkeeper. Definitely contact on Azmoun. Tractor FC down to 10 men. Shabab Al Ahly
take advantage. Chance here for Yuri Cezar. Just over the crossbar. They are taking a look at a
coming together in the midst of the action there. And Xhoja Khalilzadeh judged to have elbowed his
opponent inside the box. Shabab Al Ahly awarded the penalty. Yuri Cezar with a chance to break
the deadlock. Cool as you like from the spot. Whether or not the decision should have been given
did seem a little bit soft but it won't matter to Yuri Cezar or Shabab Al Ahly. They now have
their noses in front looking for a second here in the 80th minute.
Middle of target. Second opportunity. The cut back and the finish. Mohamed Juma with the assist.
Said Ezzatollahi with the first time finish straight down the middle. Nothing Marco Johansson
now in goal. Tractor FC can do about it and that might just wrap things up. 83rd minute.
Tough to see a way back into this now for the man of Tractor FC who nearly go three nothing down.
With the solo efforts just not enough bend on it catches the outside of the post to take it away
from danger. 10 minutes added on at the end here deep into stoppage time. Mateus Lima muscles his
way into possession. Chance for a third and there's the cherry on top. Shabab Al Ahly get back to
winning ways at exactly the right time and book their place in the AFC Champions League Elite
quarterfinals with a comfortable three nothing win over 10 man Tractor FC.
