Al-Ain's dominant run in the Asian Champions League Elite continued as Rahimi found the target in their latest outing, propelling the UAE club to a 2-1 triumph over Tractor FC on Monday. The victory maintained Al-Ain's unbeaten streak in the western league phase of the continental competition.

In a parallel fixture, holders Al-Ahli secured a hard-fought 2-1 comeback against Al-Gharafa, who played the majority of the match with 10 men following an early dismissal.
