In the semi-finals, “Real” will meet with “Al-Ahly”.

Against Widad Casablanca, Al Hilal needed shots from 11 meters to advance to the semi-finals of the competition.

Ayoub El-Amlud opened the scoring for the Moroccans (min. 52), and in the fourth minute of overtime, Mohamed Kanno restored the tie with a shot from 11 meters.

Since there were no important events in the extra periods, it came down to a penalty shoot-out, where Yahia Attiyat (Vidad Casablanca) missed the only goal.

Instead, Al-Ahli overcame the Americans with Seattle Sounders thanks to Afsha’s goal (88th minute) late in the game.

Thus, they will face Real Madrid (February 8, 21:00).

Al Hilal will face Flamengo (February 7, 21:00).
