Lebanon 2-1 Oman
Lebanon came into the tie on the back of a 7-0 win over Brunei Darussalam in their opener, but it was Oman who came close to breaking the deadlock in the 12th minute.

Mohammed Manna laid the ball for Bashar Al Shamsi, whose close-range effort was kept out by Lebanon goalkeeper Mahdi Makki.

Lebanon threatened in the 26th minute when Ibrahim Farchoukh tried to break through Oman’s defence, only to be dispossessed by Saif Al Jabri.
The second half followed a similar pattern, but Lebanon’s positive play was finally rewarded in the 66th minute. 

Mohamad Hamie shook off his marker after gaining possession at the edge of the box, then drove a low effort into the bottom-right corner.

Oman responded five minutes later when Bashar Al Shamsi shrugged off his marker on the left flank and picked out Abdul Rahman Al Hashemi, who finished from close range.
