Al-Hilal FC have partially qualified for the AFC Champions League final after crushing Qatar's Al Sadd SC 4-1 in the last 4 away leg.

The hosts, Al Sadd, started the game so fiercely as early as after only fourteen minutes, they had taken the lead through Saudi's side striker Bafétimbi Gomis' own goal.

Twenty minutes later, Gomis netted the equalizer after he received an excellent cross, turning the ball into the Xavi's side net.
