Despite the pace set by both sides, there was little to separate them, with Nasaf’s Abbosjon Gulomov seeing his close-range shot almost making the difference until Suod Al Houshan parried it away, with the midfielder sending the rebound out. 

Kuwait SC’s Yassine Khenissi then missed the target with an equally close header in the 26th minute as the match slowly came to life.
