Muharraq, having dominated the early possession, went close in the 16th minute through Amine Benaddi who skied his headed attempt from Arthur Rezende’s set-piece situation..
They did much better two minutes later with Soufiane Mahrouq orchestrating the opening goal by waltzing past three markers on the right to set up Simoes for a thumping finish.

The Bahraini side doubled their lead in the 25th minute as Mohamed Al Hardan’s clever pass found Rezende, who unleashed a powerful drive from just above the box into the bottom right corner.
Muharraq continued to probe with Juninho Piauiense’s header going just wide off the post while Gervasio Olivera’s effort from distance was off target.
Soufiane Mahrouq then had a late chance before the break but his shot was blocked by the Al Wehdat defence.

Muharraq remained in control in the second half with Al Wehdat keeper Abdallah Al Fakhouri being tested by Mahrouq from outside the box before Juninho Piauiense saw his shot from inside the box blocked.
Despite the home side’s dominance, Al Wehdat showed signs of life when Rabia Al Alawi’s long range effort in the 54th minute forced Muharraq keeper Ebrahim Lutfallah into a save.

Their added pressure almost resulted in a goal just before the hour mark after Waleed Al Hayam’s headed back pass slipped past Lutfallah needing the keeper to scramble to clear the ball from heading towards the unattended goalmouth.
Morelatto, however, capped a dominant night for Muharraq with his strike in the 86th minute and Al Wehdat's misery was compounded by Ahmad Tha'er netting into his own net deep into stoppage time.
