RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates reached the final of the Asian Champions League after beating Al-Hilal 5-4 on aggregate in the semifinals to end Saudi Arabia's chances of winning the continental prize. Four-time champion Al-Hilal won 2-1 in Riyadh but was unable to overturn the 4-2 deficit from last week's first leg. Al-Hilal is the fourth Saudi Pro League club to be eliminated since the knockout stages began in February. In May, Al-Ain will face the winner of the semifinal in the eastern zone. Ulsan HD of South Korea visits Yokohama F.Marinos on Wednesday with a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
