The opening exchanges saw Mohammed Mubarak’s powerfully struck effort thwarted by Al Faisaly custodian Abdallah Al Fakhori and at the other end, Charles Ahoua failed to make good of the ball that dropped into his path in the box.
After that it was all Al Faisaly as the home side built their momentum in the game.

From a counter attacking move in the 26th minute, Al Nahda goalkeeper Faiyz Al Rusheidi had to dive to his right to stop Ahoua’s attempt then, when he was rounded by Maradona, three minutes later, had his teammate Ghanim Al Habashi to thank for clearing the danger.
Al Faisaly, however, were not to be denied on the half hour mark, captain Ahmad Ersan with a defence-splitting pass for Ahoua who nonchalantly lifted the ball past the advancing Al Rusheidi.

Al Nahda ventured forward more in the forward half, favouring the right flank and using the pace of Amjad Abdullah with the winger’s cross in the 56th minute nearly finding Mubarak but Saidou Simpore intervened to clear the danger.
Another move down the right through substitute Karim Darwich saw Mubarak’s flick at goal just about pushed away by Al Fakhori.

Al Faisaly, however, punished Al Nahda’s inability to convert with their second goal in the 76th minute via a superb breakaway strike with Ahoua flick’s enabling Maradona to send Ersan racing through to power home and settle the contest.
