AFC Champions League Elite News

Al Ahli's victory over Al Hilal in the ACL Elite semifinals might just have been a case of substance trumping style.

Record four-time champions Al Hilal have been eliminated from the AFC Champions League Elite by a 3-1 loss to Al Ahli.

Al Ahli beat 10-man Al Hilal in a battle of Saudi Pro League sides in Jeddah on Tuesday to earn a spot in Saturday's Asian Champions League final.

A Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al Nassr are favourites to reach the ACL Elite final but Kawasaki Frontale have ideas of their own.

The AFC Champions League Elite semifinals could be decided by a solitary moment -- or even a single player.
