However, Al Nasr had already confirmed the last sixteen. Because of that, Ronaldo, who scored five goals in the last three matches, was rested.

However, no one scored in the first half of the match. Akram Afif of Al Sadd scored a goal in the 53rd minute after the break. who was voted Asia’s Player of the Year in November.

At the end of the 80th minute of the match, Al Sadd’s Romaine Sais equalized with a suicide goal. With that equality, the match lasted for 90 minutes. But in the ninth minute of added time (90+9) Al Saad got a penalty. At this time, if Afif is fouled in the box, the referee will blow the whistle for a penalty. Adam Onas scored from the penalty spot to secure a 2-1 win.

With this win, Al Sadd has taken the fourth place in the table with 12 points from 6 matches. Al Nasr is in third place with 13 points from equal matches.
