Algerian defender Youcef Atal shines in Al Sadd’s Asian Champions League triumph

Algerian international Youcef Atal played a pivotal role in Al Sadd’s 3-1 victory over Al Wasl on Monday, securing their place in the next round of the Asian Champions League.

The right-back found the net in the 70th minute, delivering a crucial second goal for his side at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.

A Timely Boost for Atal

Atal’s performance comes at an opportune moment as he prepares to rejoin the Algerian national team for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Botswana and Mozambique.

His goal not only strengthened Al Sadd’s lead but also reaffirmed his attacking capabilities from defense.

The Qatari side had already established control of the match before Atal struck, but his goal effectively ended any hopes of a comeback for Al Wasl.

It was a moment of individual brilliance from the full-back, who showcased his attacking instincts with a composed finish.

Al Sadd March On

Al Sadd’s convincing win highlighted their dominance over both legs of the tie. While Atal stole the spotlight with his goal, his fellow Algerian teammate, defender Abdessamed Bounacer, remained on the bench throughout the encounter.

The victory ensures Al Sadd continue their pursuit of continental glory, and Atal’s form will be a major boost for both club and country.

With his return to the Algerian national setup approaching, the right-back will look to carry this momentum into the crucial World Cup qualifying fixtures.
