Boulbina focused on taking Al Duhail through

Doha: Adil Boulbina remains optimistic of Al Duhail SC’s Round of 16 chances following their 1-1 stalemate with Sharjah FC in their AFC Champions League 2025/26 tie on Monday.

It was a case of near misses as Qatar’s Al Duhail, despite dominating the match, fell behind to a 41st minute strike by Igor Coronado but a spirited second half display finally laid the foundation for the equaliser through Boulbina.
