CWC: Ighalo Benched As Al Ahly Thrash Al Hilal To Claim Bronze Medal

Odion Ighalo was an unused substitute as Al Hilal missed out on third position in the Club World Cup following a 4-0 defeat to African champions Al Ahly.

Ighalo started Al Hilal’s opening two games in the competition, but failed to make it from the bench this time around.

The Nigeria international scored one goal in two appearances for the Asian champions in the competition.

Al Hilal played majority of the game with nine men after Matheus Pareira and Mohamed Kanno were sent off in the first half.

Yasser Ibrahim bagged a brace for Al Ahly with Ahmed Abdelkader and Amr El-Sulya scoring the other goals.
