On Tuesday evening, Baghdad Bounedjah delivered a standout performance in the Asian Champions League. He scored a decisive goal that allowed Al-Shamal to pull off a surprise victory against Al-Hilal.

Bounedjah will therefore have to keep waiting to rejoin the Fennecs, despite his strong club performances.
