"An ex-Premier League star scored a hat-trick for his new club in a rampant 13-0 win. Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Shabab routed Yemen's Tadamoune Hadramout in the final game of the Gulf Club Champions League group stage, needing a goal difference of three to overtake second-place Al Nahda to qualify for the next round. And a familiar face scored three goals in the first half to set Al-Shabab on their way, while Al Nahda got nothing in a 3-1 loss to group leaders Al-Rayyan."
"You may like Ex-Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill broke the deadlock four minutes in with a composed finish before ex-Atletico Madrid star Yannick Carrasco struck an excellent free kick to make it 2-0. Abdulqawi Al Hadhrami saw red for an absurdly unnecessary two-footed pneumatic drill-style challenge, sentencing his side to 83 minutes with ten men.

"Hamdallah then filled his boots with five more goals to make it a double hat-trick and Jordan international Ali Azaizeh scored once. Remarkably, that was Al-Shabab's first win in the group, having endured four draws and a loss. That loss came in the reverse fixture, as they were downed 2-0 in the away game. Clearly, they were out for revenge."
