Bahrain’s Al Muharraq downs Nasaf to lift second AFC Cup title

The Hindu  

Bahrain’s Al Muharraq lifted the AFC Cup in front of its own fans on Friday, handing Nasaf of Uzbekistan a 3-0 defeat to claim Asia’s second-tier regional trophy for the second time. The AFC Cup is the Asian Football Confederation’s secondary club competition and features teams who do not automatically qualify for the Asian Champions League. Sixteen minutes from time Al Muharraq doubled their lead when Noor Al Rawabdeh’s angled ball split the Nasaf defence to leave Jameel with time to slot past keeper Umidjon Ergashev. Al Muharraq’s win comes after last year’s competition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and earns the club a place in the qualifying rounds of next year’s Asian Champions League.
