RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Aleksandar Mitrovic and Salem Al-Dawsari scored for Al-Hilal in a 2-0 win over Al-Ittihad which saw midfielder N'Golo Kanté sent off in the first leg of their Asian Champions League quarterfinal match. Mitrovic converted a penalty six minutes before the break to become joint top scorer in the tournament with eight goals. Three minutes later Al-Dawsari doubled the lead in the all-Saudi Arabian matchup. Kanté was dismissed in the 66th minute for a dangerous tackle on former Chelsea teammate Kalidou Koulibaly. Kante will miss the second leg in Jeddah next Tuesday. In the eastern zone Jeonbuk drew 1-1 with Ulsan in the first leg between the two South Korean teams.
