Aqeel Al Sahabi opened the scoring for Al Ahli when the sides met in Jeddah in mid-March before Nassir Al Shamrani struck back for the Emiratis. But after Giannis Fetfatzidis put the hosts back in front, Al Sahabi scored at the wrong end as the tie finished 2-2. Al Ain drew 1-1 with Zobahan when they last played in front of their own fans on Matchday One, while Al Ahli claimed an impressive 2-0 victory over the same opponents in their only away fixture to date.
