Group E: FC Istiklol (TJK) 0-0 Al Duhail SC (QAT)

Dushanbe: Last year’s AFC Champions League™ semi-finalists Al Duhail will take a point back to Qatar from their Group E clash against FC Istiklol after Hernan Crespo’s side shared a 0-0 draw with the Tajikistan champions at the Central Republican Stadium on Tuesday.

Sultan Al Braik went closest to breaking the stalemate 15 minutes from time when his attempt from the edge of the penalty area took a huge deflection and came back off Rustam Yatimov’s right post before bouncing to safety.

But, in a game of few clear-cut scoring opportunities, Istiklol’s defensive discipline ensured Al Duhail were limited to trying their luck from distance, a tactic that yielded little to seriously trouble goalkeeper Yatimov throughout the 90 minutes.
