| Mumbai City fall to Al Shabab in AFC Champions League opener | | | agencies
RIYADH, Apr 9: Saudi Arabia's Al Shabab marked their return to continental football after a seven-year absence with an emphatic 3-0 win against debutants Mumbai City of India in Group B of the AFC Champions League 2022 at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd on Friday night.
Ever Banega opened the scoring for Al Shabab in the first half, before doubling their lead in the second, only for Turki Al Ammar to round off the night with his effort to bag all three points.
The Saudi side wasted no time in taking the game to their opponents, and inside two minutes goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa was forced into making his first save after Hattan Bahebri broke free down the left and squared for Nawaf Al Abid whose left-footed effort was rescued by the tip of the Mumbai City goalkeeper's gloves.
Halfway through the opening period Al Abid was presented with a golden chance to open the scoring when he was sent through on goal by a sublime Carlos pass, and he attempted a dinked finish past the goalkeeper, but his effort passed just wide off target.
