Al-Ahli Vs Buriram United Live Score, AFC Champions League Quarter-Final: AHL 3-0 BUR; Firmino Puts Saudi Team On Top

The relentless Al-Ahli pump in a third goal in the 30th minute. After a brief quiet period, the Saudi team create another opening as Turkish defender Merih Demiral sets it up for captain Roberto Firmino, who makes no mistake. Buriram are rattled and need to score at the earliest, to find a way back.

Buriram create a chance soon after the second Al-Ahli goal, getting a penalty on-field. But the decision goes up for a VAR check and is overturned subsequently, much to the dismay of the visitors. Nevertheless, the Thai team has settled a bit defensively now after the early setbacks.

Galeno joins the party. Less than two minutes after Mahrez's strike, the Brazilian winger latches on to his compatriot Roger Ibanez's assist to find the back of the Buriram net and put Al-Ahli 2-0 up. This could well become a long night for the Thai side, unless they bounce back soon.

Al-Ahli make the perfect start to the match. After earning a corner in the very first minute, the Saudi team continues to exert pressure and it results in a fluid move down the right flank, and Riyad Mahrez takes charge before slotting it home from his right foot in the fourth minute.

Buriram United defeated the likes of Korea Republic라이브 바카라 Ulsan HD and Pohang FC in the league stage and then Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia in the round of 16, to make the quarter-finals cut. As for Al-Ahli, their run has been marked by dominant performances, with a 5-1 aggregate victory over Qatari team Al Rayyan in the pre-quarter-finals.
