ACL Semis. [R]

[shayan20]

Al Ittihad is beating Nagoya in japan 1-2 with 10 min to go.
They are already in finals because of that hammering in Saudi arabia 6-2!!!

Moradi is officiating this game he finds it difficult to keep up with the pace

SS did indeed have the strongest group as both Alittihad and Um salal have made it this far. But still no excuse finishing last in the group

[shayan20]

2 very good chances for nagoya to at least get a draw but saudi keeper is pulling off casillas like saves.

amazing japanese fans chanting with such coordination. they are a step ahead of asia in these professional terms.
alittihad done well to stop them from passing like japanese teams do.

[shayan20]

Dammmn Alittihad players misses an open net after a very bad blunder by the keeper, his shot goes just wide but it should have been 1-3.

[shayan20]

and final whistle by moradi 94'.
aggregate score 8-3 to alitiihad, they are favourite in the final whether it is um salal or pohang steelers that they play. very strong team they are.
japanese teams domination ends right here, alittihad could become the best team in ACL if they win ACL this year.

Still unbelievable we almost beat Ittihad in Saudi! If it wasn't for that last second blast from 35 meters

so Its AlIttihad V Pohang Steelers for the final.
I think AlItiihad will take this one easily.

Anybody knows if the final is still 2 legs?

I didnt see that 6-2 game but in this match they looked organzed in defense an their attacks are effective.
japanese players and even their brazilian forwards were physically too weak for the giant arab players.
they should get an aussie ref as a neutral to ref the game for the final.
