Al Dawsari misses two penalties but Hilal reach Champions League knockouts

Salem Al Dawsari missed two penalties but scored with a lob from distance as Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal sealed a spot in the Asian Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday.

The winger, who was last month named the continent’s best men’s player, spurned a spot-kick in either half in the Group D tie against Navbahor in Uzbekistan.

But after substitute Malcolm struck the game’s opening goal, Al Dawsari atoned with some distinction for the four-time champions late on in a 2-0 win.
