The team player and best player in today’s match, Edmilson da Silva, described AlDuhail’s win this evening against Saudi Al Taawon team and qualifying for the next stage of the competition as wonderful. The player said in his speech to the press conference after the end of the match: “I am very happy with the win and I am also happy because I scored two goals and we won against a stubborn and strong team.”

Edmilson said: “Although we advanced with the first goal, Al-Taawoun managed to come back and come out ahead of us in the first half.
