A goal midway through the second half from Naif Hazazi earned Al-Ittihad the slenderest of advantages over Al-Ahly in its AFC Champions League semi-final clash.

The Saudi Arabia international striker was on the spot with 66 minutes gone at the PAF Stadium, ensuring Raul Caneda`s side will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg.

In front of a 24,000 strong crowd the home side made the most of the running with Hazazi going close to a second in the dying minutes.

Taisir Al Jassem had the best effort for Al-Ahly midway through the opening 45 minutes, and the Red Devils will be pleased to have kept their heads above water ahead of the second leg.
