AFC – Abu Dhabi, Al Wahda ended their 2011 AFC Champions League campaign on a high note as goals from Salem Saleh and Mohammad Al Shehhi sealed a 2-0 win over Piroozi at Al Nahyan Stadium. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Saleh opened the scoring for the hosts in the Group C encounter after 13 minutes and Al Shehhi made the points safe with 20 minutes to go.<\/p>\n

With most of their regulars being rested, Al Wahda took an early lead against Ali Daei’s Iranian side. Young striker Saleh, who had missed a good chance earlier in the game, finished off a fine move which was initiated by the Al Wahda goalkeeper Moataz Abdullah in the 13th minute. <\/p>\n

Abdullah picked out the lanky Al Shehhi with his goal kick and the latter worked his way down the left flank before crossing towards Saleh, who produced a fierce finish that Piroozi custodian Rahman Ahmadi could not keep out of the back of the net.<\/p>\n

After a Basheer Saeed free-kick was saved by Ahmadi in the 26th minute, Piroozi came close twice before the break. First Moataz Abdullah did well to stop a dangerous run by Mohammed Nori before the same player saw an effort hit the bar two minutes before the break after Hadi Norozi had done the spade work.<\/p>\n

In the second-half, Al Wahda continued to pose more of the attacking threat and after Fahad Masaoud\u2019s effort was saved by Ahmadi, Saeed again had another attempt at goal as this time a header flew just wide of the mark.<\/p>\n

Masaoud then ensured Al Wahda increased the lead when he sent a perfect cross and Al Shehhi\u2019s diving header found the back of the net in the 70th minute to leave the visitors staring at defeat.<\/p>\n

Ahmadi then pulled off a great save from substitute Abdul Rahim Juma during stoppage time as Al Wahda finally claimed their first win in their sixth and last 2011 AFC Champions League match.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
