An amazing comeback from Al Ahli last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Y. Belaïli scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. Y. Belaïli came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Al Ittifaq last time out, making the manager C. Gross feel like a tactical genius.
