Jordan League champions Al Wehdat recorded a dominant 5-0 win over India’s Mohun Bagan in a Group D match of the AFC Cup at King Abdullah International stadium on Tuesday.
Al Wehdat opened the scoring when defender Manju put the ball into his own net in the 26th minute shortly before the hosts added a second through Issa Al Sapah.
Al Sapah scored a third for his side five minutes before the break and the rout continued as Hasan Abdel-Fattah converted a penalty six minutes after the hour mark before Rafat Ali rounded off the scoring with five minutes remaining.
Al Wehdat showed their attacking intentions right from the start of and should have opened the scoring after just two minutes when Amer Abuhwati played a smart pass to Amer Deeb, who fired just wide.
It was no surprise that they did go ahead after 26 minutes when Deeb crossed from the right and Manju compounded to put the ball into his own net.
The home side doubled their advantage two minutes later when Abuhwati launched a quick attack before passing to Al Sapah, who broke into the area and scored with a powerful close-range shot.
Al Sapah then scored his second goal of the game and the third for Al Wehdat five minutes before the break when he took advantage of a defensive mistake before smashing the ball beyond the goalkeeper.
Al Wehdat continued the second half in much the same vein as they had finished the first and should have scored their fourth goal six minutes after the break when Al Sapah fired over the crossbar.
But their fourth duly arrived after 66 minutes when they were awarded a penalty after Rafat Ali was fouled inside the area and Abdel-Fattah successfully converted the penalty.
The convincing advantage caused Al Wehdat to take their foot off the pedal but they still managed to add a fifth five minutes before the end when Ali volleyed home.
