Al Ahly won Monterrey and will face Palmeiras

Defender Mohamed Hany, in the 54th minute, sentenced the match in favor of the African champions, who were more pragmatic and effective against an opponent who had more possession of the ball and shot twice, although barely hitting the goal.

On Tuesday, Al Ahly will meet Palmeiras, who enter directly into the semi-final of the competition that takes place in the United Arab Emirates, just like Chelsea, champion of Europe.

The discussion of the club world champion began on Thursday, with hosts Al Jazira, guided by former Sporting coach Marcel Keizer, advancing to the second round after beating AS Pirae, from Oceania, 4-1.
