Sanchez buoyant about Al Sadd’s chances

Doha: Head coach Felix Sanchez feels his Al Sadd SC side are on track for a place in the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2024/25 after beating Persepolis FC to collect their second win on Monday.

The Qatari side had to dig deep to secure the 1-0 victory in a match in which Persepolis had the better of the chances but Mateus Uribe’s first half goal was enough to decide the tie.
