Al Ain had to settle for a point in their second Group D match of this year's Asian Champions League at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium.

The Arabian Gulf League side dominated the early proceedings against Qatar's Al Rayyan and were first on the scoresheet when Swedish striker Marcus Berg converted from the penalty spot after Caio Fernandes was fouled inside the box on 10 minutes.

Al Rayyan got back into the game in a similar fashion when Abderrazzaq Hamad-Allah was fouled inside the six-yard-box and stepped up to take the resulting penalty kick himself, equalising in the 28th minute.

Rayan Yaslam's effort from outside the penalty area for Al Ain was the closest either side came to adding a second after half time and the final whistle heralded a second draw for the two Group D sides.

Al Ain welcome Esteghlal to the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium on Matchday 3, while Al Rayyan travel to Riyadh to play Al Hilal in their next game.

One in nine do not have enough to eat

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.

One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.
