The fifth round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League featured six games this Tuesday. Former Santos player, Marcos Leonardo shone with two goals in Al Hilal's 4-0 victory over Al Shorta.
With a 100% success rate in five matches, Al Hilal reaches 15 points and leads Group B. Meanwhile, Al Shorta is second to last, with just one point.
The first goal came only at the 45th minute of the game. Malcom, after a save by the goalkeeper, picked up the rebound and crossed into the area for Marcos Leonardo, who headed in alone to open the scoring.
At 16 minutes into the second half, Yahya committed a foul near the end line and was sent off with a second yellow, leaving Al Shorta with one less player. From the free-kick, Milinkovic-Savic rose and headed firmly into the back of the net.
At 27 minutes, Al Dawsari crossed and found Marcos Leonardo once again free to head accurately. To seal the score, João Cancelou made a run from the defensive field and only stopped when he finished into the corner, in the final minutes of the match.
