Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – Al-Ittihad secured their place in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Al-Wahda of the UAE. The match took place on Tuesday evening at Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah, as part of the Round of 16.
The original time of the match ended in a goalless draw, so the two teams resorted to two extra periods, before the referee awarded a penalty kick to Al-Ittihad in the (120+7) minute, which Fabinho succeeded in converting into the winning goal in the 120+10 minute.
