Al Ahli v Al Hilal: King's Cup Semi Final

The Algerian star has roused the Al-Raqi supporters.

Algerian star Riyad Mahrez has galvanised Al-Ahli’s supporters ahead of Monday’s AFC Champions League round-of-16 clash against Qatar’s Al-Duhail.

The Round of 16 for Western clubs is being hosted in Jeddah after regional security concerns postponed earlier fixtures.

According to Walid Saeed, a journalist close to Al-Ahli, Mahrez has already secured 1,000 tickets for supporters to attend the clash against Al-Duhail.

Al-Ahli were crowned champions of the previous edition after defeating Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale 2-0 in the final.
