Ahli, Ittihad win to set-up Jeddah derby

Saudi powerhouses Ahli and Ittihad beat Abha and Riyadh respectively on Tuesday to set-up a Jeddah derby in the Crown Prince Cup quarterfinals.

Ahli dispensed of Abha with a 4-0 victory, courtesy of a Taysir Al-Jasem treble and a Talal Al-Meshaal strike.

Meanwhile, Cameroon striker Joseph Desire-Job scored a 65th minute goal to grab a hard fought 1-0 win for Asian champions Ittihad.

Elsewhere, capital side Al-Nassr needed a last minute goal from Fahd Al-Zahrani to beat Al-Ettifaq 1-0 while Al-Wehda scrapped past second division side Al-Faisali 2-1.

Al-Nassr will now face Al-Wehda in the Crown Prince Cup final eight.

The round of 16 resumes on Wednesday with four encounters: Hilal - Ansar, Al-Hazm - Al-Shabab, Al-Taei - Al-Hamada and Al-Rawda - Al-Qadisiya.
