Ighalo scores four, as Al Hilal put seven past Al Duhail to reach AFC Champions League final

Odion Ighalo was in fine form as Al Hilal qualified for the final of the Asian Champions League on Sunday.

The striker netted four goals as the defending Champions defeated Al Duhail 7-0 in the semi-final at the Al Thumama Stadium, ending what could’ve been a historic night for the Qatari football team.

Ighalo has been struggling with injury recently and missed several matches, before being recalled to the squad.

The striker was handed an opportunity to start and instantly opened the floodgate just two minutes into the game.

He made it 2-0 for his side eight minutes later, before Moussa Marega added the third in the 14th minute.

The Malian forward then got his brace in the 27th minute, just before Salem Aldawsari added the fifth.

Ighalo however wrapped up the fantastic game by completing his hat-trick with two minutes inside the second half and his fourth in the 68th minute.

The Saudi dream team will face Urawa Reds in the first leg of the final on Wednesday.
