Spider-Man Moment Shines as Milot Leads Ahli Jeddah to a 4-3 Victory in ACL Elite

Match Sparks Spider-Man Moment

In an unexpected moment, French forward Hugo Iketiki of Liverpool flashed a quick symbolic gesture toward his former youth teammate after an eye-catching display in a continental clash.

The spotlight then shifted to Enzo Milot, the Ahli Jeddah midfielder, who starred in a dramatic AFC Champions League Elite clash, contributing to a 4-3 victory at the expense of UAE’s Shabab Al Ahli. The gesture encapsulated a friendly, competitive bond that has spanned the ages.

Despite late efforts from the UAE side, the Saudi squad maintained the lead they built with a three-goal burst in the first half, solidifying their position near the top of the group.

The crucial third goal, coming in stoppage time of the first half, arrived from Milot with a powerful shot that curved slightly before slotting into the near corner, giving his team a comfortable lead at the break.

After full-time, Milot shared a photo from the match on Instagram, and his compatriot, a Liverpool star, replied with a single word: "Spider-Man".

That playful jab was not random; it reflected admiration for Milot's finishing and dynamic movement shown throughout the contest.

The exchange also hints at an old French connection between the two players, who previously wore the blue jersey at youth levels before carving out international careers.

Milot, 23, moved to his current club last summer from the German league, signing a long-term deal through 2028.

With the win, Ahli Jeddah climbed to 17 points from eight matches, occupying second place in the Western group, five points behind the leaders.

Punchline 1: If Milot keeps swinging like this, defenders will start calling him the web-slinging striker—and quitting mid-game to go watch the highlights.

Punchline 2: If the Spider-Man nickname sticks, the trophy might need a superhero cape for the celebrations. Swing by the net, Milot!
