A thrilling last-minute goal by Enwer Annayev clinched a dramatic 1-0 win for Ahal FK against Mohun Bagan in their debut match of AFC Champions League Group C at Salt Lake Stadium on Tuesday.
Annayev, aged 19, made an immediate impact after entering the field in the 79th minute. He capitalized on Basim Gurbanberdiyew's precise through ball, smoothly slotting it into the bottom right corner.
Despite Mohun Bagan's spirited attempts, including a near-miss by Jamie Maclaren, their efforts were thwarted by Ahal's Kakageldi Berdiyev and a disjointed defense, leaving the ISL champs to ponder strategy adjustments before facing Sepahan on October 21.
