Preview - Inter-Zone Semi-final: ATK Mohun Bagan FC (IND) v Kuala Lumpur City FC (MAS)

Kolkata: Head coach Juan Ferrando is optimistic about ATK Mohun Bagan FC’s (ATKMB) chances when they go up against Kuala Lumpur City FC in the AFC Cup™ 2022 Inter-Zone Semi-final on Wednesday. 

ATKMB resume their campaign after topping Group D in May, and will have momentum in their stride, having won 2-0 against Indian Navy FC in the Durand Cup 2022 last week. 

While they failed to advance to the quarter-finals after missing out on a top two finish on goal difference, the Durand Cup action means ATKMB are match fit for the AFC Cup.

Despite playing away, Al Seeb found their scoring boots in extra time with Muhsen Al Ghassani (95th) and Salaah Al Yahyaei (99th) putting them ahead in the semi-final with Kingsley Eduwo scoring a consolation for Kuwait's Arabi SC five minutes from the end as the Omani side sealed their place in the West Zone Final on October 4.

Al Seeb defeat Arabi to book West Zone final berth

Kuwait City: Oman’s Al Seeb edged out Kuwait’s Arabi SC 2-1 in extra time of the AFC Cup™ 2022 West Zone Semi-final on Monday.

Although they needed extra time to take the win, Al Seeb looked assured throughout the 120 minutes and were never really threatened. Quick at the break, clinical in front of goal and with a pressing game that directly yielded a goal, the Omani side’s debut campaign continues and they will face the winners of East Riffa vs Riffa SC in the second West Zone Semi-final.
