Al Ain aim to stick together 'like family' in pursuit of Asian Champions League glory

Quick Glance: Al-Ain Advances to Asian Champions League Final Despite Al-Hilal Loss

Al-Ain advanced to the Asian Champions League final despite losing 2-1 to Al-Hilal in Riyadh, securing a place in the next month's decider.

Despite Al-Hilal's victory, Al-Ain reduced the deficit early in the game and maintained the lead in the aggregate score.

The result means Al-Ain will return to the final for the first time since 2016, when they lost to Jeonbuk Motors from South Korea.

The final will be held on May 11 in either Japan or South Korea, with Al-Ain hosting the return leg two weeks later.

Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.

With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.

Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.
