Kesse Amanguoa (16th minute) and Ramin Rezaein (78th minute) scored for Al Shahania.

Becerra gave Umm Salal an early advantage until Amanguoa helped Al Shahania draw parity as the latter had slightly more of the ball till the end of first half.
The Orange Fortress went ahead for a second time seven minutes into the second half, again through Becerra, and Rezaein’s goal enabled Al Shahania to earn a crucial point.
Both teams pressed hard in pursuit of a winning goal, but the scoreline remained the same.
