Omar Abdulrahman takes The National Sport front page on Wednesday, October 19 after inspiring Al Ain in their Asian Champions League semi-final against El Jaish.
Al Ain took a 3-1 lead into the second leg in Doha, due in no small part to the brilliance of Abdulrahman, who scored once and set up two in the first leg.
And it was the UAE playmaker who scored the first goal of the return leg midway through the second half as Al Ain earned a 2-2 draw to reach the continental competition final for the third time in their history.
John McAuley was at the Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha to witness the match and provides his report and analysis from a tense and taxing encounter.
