AFC Champions League Two
Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr advanced to the last four stage with an impressive 4-0 win against Al Wasl of the UAE while Qatar's Al Ahli saw off the challenge of Al Hussein of Jordan with a 3-1 victory.
Head coach Jorge is determined to steer his side to continental glory, with the Portuguese saying he wants Al Nassr to create history by becoming the first team from Saudi Arabia to lift the trophy.
Having tinkered with his squad in the earlier rounds, Jesus fielded his strongest lineup for the clash against Al Wasl, who just couldn't cope with Al Nassr's array of stars.
To be fair, Al Nassr have sizzled irrespective of who Jesus has fielded as they advanced to the semi-finals with a perfect record of nine wins and will be confident of another two as they look to claim the coveted trophy.

While Al Ahli did not advance with a perfect record, they made the semi-finals with an unbeaten record and with glory just two matches away, will be determined to give the semi-final their best.
Success has long eluded the Doha-based side but having seen off the challenges of several quality teams enroute to qualifying for the semi-finals, Al Ahli will believe they are capable of advancing at the expense of a star-studded Al Nassr, with Japan's Gamba Osaka waiting in the final.
