A delightful for the Los Tuzos. I am delighted by the fact that it was remarkable comeback courtesy of the brilliant performance of Christian El Chaco Gimenez. Being a big fan of Argentina, I was rooting for Pachuca because of they have Gimenez, Alvarez and Bruno on their side.

Chaco’s second goal was pure class and even more as he combined well with Alvarez. Typical stuff from the Albiceleste. I wish them all the best against LDU but it will be tough as the Ecuadorian side will be tough nut to crack.

But respect must also be given to Al Ahly for their spirited display that they have produced. They showed courage and confidence in their game which not surprising as they are the reigning Kings of Africa.

Please check out my post on the game review and hope to hear your feedback.
