Al-Rahimi key as Al Ain hit Al Nassr, reviving Al Hilal memories | OneFootball

Soufiane Rahimi again left Saudi heavyweights reeling, his display driving Al Ain to a 4-0 victory over Al Nassr and reviving memories of his star turn against Al Hilal.

Goal.com highlights that Rahimi has become the thread running through Al Ain's statement wins over both clubs.

In the 2023-2024 AFC Champions League Elite semi-final first leg, the Moroccan hit a hat-trick, earned man of the match and powered a 4-2 defeat of Al Hilal.

Against Al Nassr, he directly shaped two goals, scoring the third in the 72nd minute before teeing up Giacomarcs for the fourth in the 85th.

Two emphatic four-goal performances, two Saudi giants, with Rahimi central to each. Al Ain's forward continues to leave a painful imprint on Asia's biggest nights.
