As the match entered added time in the first half, Moustafa dribbled into the box and went down under Hazza Ali’s challenge but no penalty decision was forthcoming from referee Tuan Mohd Yaasin as the match went into the break on level terms.
The pattern of play remained the same after the interval with both sides looking for the opening goal, Driss Fettouhi with a couple of shots from distance that had Manuel on alert.

At the other end, Ahmed Bughammar produced a powerful shot from distance which was saved by Sherif before the Al Ahli goalkeeper did just enough to put Ayoud Elamloud off as the Al Khaldiya substitute looked to go around him.
Bahrain’s Al Khaldiya came close to taking home all three points late on when Elamloud’s cross from the right flank found its way to Badar Bashir who was thwarted by a finger-tip Sherif save as the teams settled for a point.
