Al Ahli Wins Historic AFC Champions League Title

The football club "Al-Ahli" from Saudi Arabia has achieved a historic success, winning their first title in the AFC Champions League after defeating the Japanese "Kawasaki Frontale" with a score of 2:0 in the final, which took place on Saturday at their home stadium in Jeddah.

The victory in this match marks a major achievement for "Al-Ahli", which has twice been a runner-up in the tournament - in 1986, when it lost to "Hefa United" from Chiba, Japan, and in 2012, when it succumbed to the South Korean "Ulsan Hyundai" with a score of 0:3, with goals from Brazilian Galinho (in the 35th minute) and Frenchman Franck Kessie (in the 41st minute).
