Nemati’s Goal among 6 Memorable ACL Semi-Final Goals
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - With the 2020 AFC Champions League (East) semi-final fast approaching, the-AFC.com takes a look back at six goals from the previous editions of the final four that continue to live long in the memory.
There have been some historic games and goals alike when Asia's most prestigious club competition reaches the business end of the tournament.
With the 2020 edition's semi-final in the east between Korea Republic's Ulsan Hyundai and Japan's Vissel Kobe set to kick off on Sunday, the-afc.com takes a moment to remember some of the game-changing moments that have thrilled and stunned in equal measure.
Few semi-final goals will ever be celebrated by so many in attendance.
Tehran's Azadi Stadium was packed with 100,000 fans and Nemati ensured they would not leave disappointed. The scores were level at 1-1 on aggregate following Baghdad Bounedjah's opener but Nemati, who helped Persepolis past Al-Nassr in the 2020 semi-final, edged the Iranians back ahead.
It proved enough to take the team to a first AFC Champions League final.
Nemati will vie with Victor Simoes, Kwoun Kyung-won, Rafael Silva, Serginho and Bafetimbi Gomis to win the best goal.
