The Yokohama F. Marinos vs Al Ain live stream today in the first leg of the AFC Champions League final represents the first half of the biggest game in club soccer in Asia. It's also a sort of repeat of Liverpool vs AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final, with players-turned-managers Harry Kewell and Hernan Crespo in charge of both teams — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
The teams are in and Anderson Lopes starts for Yokohama, the Brazilian forward vital for a Japanese first-leg victory. Compatriot Elber also starts, with local experience coming from Ken Matsubara and captain Takuya Kida in the spine of the team. Asahi Uenaka also starts. For Al Ain, top scorer Soufiane Rahimi starts as expected up front, with Alejandro Romero, Abdoulkarim Traore and Mohamed Abbas all also in from the off. Park Young-Woo also gets the nod, with Ahmed Barman on the bench.
