The AFC Champions League final ended in disappointing defeat for Odion Ighalo and his Al-Hilal teammates.

Ighalo was in action for Al-Hilal who relinquished their title to the Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds following 2-1 aggregate defeat.

The first leg in Saudi Arabia ended 1-1, while Urawa won the return fixture 1-0 to be crowned the Champions.

Ighalo has 7 goals in 8 Champions League games, but surprisingly failed to score over the two legs, despite playing 90 minutes in both legs.

An own goal by Al-Hilal’s Andre Carrillo gave Urawa Red the victory in Tokyo. ​

Urawa Red Diamonds who are lifting the title for the first time since 2017 will now represent Asia in next FIFA Club World Cup.
