Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal made the Asian Champions League quarter-finals after goals from Odion Ighalo, Jang Hyun-soo and Luciano Vietto saw the champions hand Shabab Al Ahli of the United Arab Emirates a 3-1 defeat at Al Janoub Stadium in Doha on Monday.
The four remaining clubs in the western half of the competition will face off to decide who meets Urawa Red Diamonds in the two-legged final in April and May after the Japanese side secured the east Asian berth in the decider last year. Ighalo struck from distance after Moussa Marega charged forward to set up the Nigerian, who stepped inside Mohammed Marzooq and unleashed a low left-foot shot from 20 metres that goalkeeper Majed Nasser could not keep out.
Al Hilal, however, added a second with 18 minutes remaining when defender Jang saw his initial header from Vietto's free kick palmed onto the crossbar by Nasser, only for the South Korean to convert the rebound from close range.
