Al Ahli, the Jeddah-based football club representing the Roshn Saudi League, has reached the AFC Champions League Elite final for the second consecutive year after a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Japan's Vissel Kobe at Alinma Stadium on Monday. The match drew an impressive crowd of nearly 45,000 fans. After falling behind, Al Ahli rallied in the second half with a stunning long-range goal from Galeno and a decisive finish from top scorer Ivan Toney. Manager Matthias Jaissle expressed pride in the team's achievement, stating that back-to-back titles are a significant goal. Al Ahli aims to replicate the success of Jeddah rivals Al Ittihad, who last defended the title over two decades ago. The final match will see Al Ahli face either FC Machida Zelvia from Japan or UAE's Shabab Al Ahli on Saturday. Galeno expressed gratitude to the fans, emphasizing the need to rest and prepare for the final.
