The second semi final will be played tomorrow, 9 February. AFC Champions League winners Al Hilal FC of Saudi Arabia, who dispatched host club Al Jazira FC in the previous round – a tournament record victory – will play UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium, for a place in Saturday’s final.
