Pachuca take down Al Ahly 4-2, advancing to the Club World Cup semifinals
Saturday, 13 December 08, 01:15 AM · Comments(2)
Four unanswered goals from Pachuca deflated Al Ahly's hopes of moving on to the next stage after a convincing 4-2 victory in extra time. The Tuzos, in their second appearance in the Club World Cup, left a much better impression after their feeble effort in Japan just last year.
Christian Giménez led the CONCACAF champions with two goals, leading a comeback that made a 2-0 deficit disappear.
Pachuca definitely showed some personality that was nonexistent in the first half and now wondering what coach Enrique Meza told his team at halftime.
The Tuzos advance to the semifinals where they will face Liga of Ecuador, a team that will be without key figures such as Enrique Vera and Joffre Guerrón that guided them to the Copa Libertadores title earlier this year.

The goal that was discounted at the beginning of the second half would have put Al Ahly 3-0. Bad call. But Pachuca was still the better team.
