Ighalo tastes defeat in AFC Champions League final
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.
