Saudi Arabia's Ainas narrowly beat Al Faha 1-0 in the first leg of the AFC Champions League Round of 16 at dawn on Thursday. The match saw Portuguese soccer superstar Cron mark his 1,000th career club match, and he himself contributed the only goal of the match, as the 39-year-old veteran once again wrote his own legend with a breathtaking achievement.
Unfortunately, due to injuries, Cron was unable to participate in the 2 previous friendlies in China and missed the match against Internacional Maia Mi and missed the showdown with Lionel Messi. Fortunately, he has recently regained his health and made his comeback in a warm-up match, despite the team suffering a 2-goal defeat. The AFC Champions League match was Cron's 1,000th club match. Cron came up with his first goal of the season in the 81st minute, taking a pinpoint pass from Bossovic and striking from inside the penalty area to give Ainas the lead. The two teams will meet in the early hours of February 22 for the second leg.
