(Reuters) - Goals from Bafetimbi Gomis and Salem Al Dawsari handed Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal a 2-0 win over Esteghlal from Iran and a place in the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League on Monday. Gomis struck six minutes before half time to give the 2019 champions the lead and Al Dawsari effectively killed off the game 11 minutes after the break to take Al Hilal through. But with six minutes remaining in the half, Al Hilal took the lead through Gomis. But Al Maoiuf kept out Arman Ramezani's header to stifle Esteghlal's hopes as Al Hilal became the first club to progress to the last eight. In the east, defending champions Ulsan Hyundai play Japan's Kawasaki Frontale, and Nagoya Grampus meet Daegu FC on Tuesday.
