In the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, Saudi Arabia's 'Al-Hilol' club will face 'Paxtakor' in a decisive match on March 4. However, the Riyadh team suffered a serious loss ahead of this important game.
The club's Portuguese star, defender Joao Cancelo, left the field in the 60th minute of the match against 'Al-Ahli' due to muscle pain. Doctors have stated that he could be out for 10 days to 6 weeks. This means that the experienced defender will not be able to participate in the crucial match against 'Paxtakor'.
A great opportunity for 'Paxtakor'!
Cancelo is currently one of the most important players for 'Al-Hilol', known for his reliable defensive actions and contributions to the attack. Losing him could be a serious blow for the Riyadh team.
For Tashkent's 'Paxtakor' club, this could create an additional opportunity. Cancelo's absence may cause problems in 'Al-Hilol's' defensive line. Therefore, Pedro Moreyra's team has a good chance to achieve a sensational victory against the Saudi giants.
An open clash is expected
The match between 'Paxtakor' and 'Al-Hilol' will kick off on March 4 at 21:00. In this clash between two major clubs in Asia, the Tashkent team could record a historic achievement and advance to the semi-finals.
This is a highly anticipated match for football fans. We wish 'Paxtakor' good luck and ask all fans to support our team on March 4!
