AFC Champions League Two
Rakan Al Tulayhi gave Al Taaowoun the lead on the hour mark before Petrus Boumal drew the Oman side level nine minutes from time to ensure the points were shared.
Al Taawoun started strongly, with Nedim Bajrami’s third-minute header forcing Al Nahda goalkeeper Faiyz Al Rusheidi into a save before Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi fired his effort from distance over the bar.
Al Nahda grew into the game with Djavan Anderson testing Al Taawoun goalkeeper Mailson from long range in the seventh minute, while Amjad Al Harthi and Mohammed Al Ghafri both failed to find the target from inside the area.
Al Rusheidi came to Al Nahda’s rescue in the 18th minute when he denied Al Kuwaykibi’s stinging effort from above the box before foiling Younes El Bahraoui from close range off the rebound.
Al Kuwaykibi wasted another chance to put Al Taawoun ahead in the 33rd minute, steering Saif Rajab’s delivery narrowly over the bar from close range as the sides went into the break goalless.

Item 1 of 8
Djavan Anderson had an opportunity to put Al Nahda ahead five minutes after the restart but dragged his effort wide from inside the box but Al Taawoun’s persistence was finally rewarded on the hour mark.
Oscar Dorley sent a well-timed through ball into the path of Rakan Al Tulayhi, who kept his composure to calmly slot past Al Rusheidi into the bottom left corner.
However, the Omani side refused to go down quietly and levelled the tie in the 81st minute when Petrus Boumal powered home a header from Jamal Al Wahshi’s corner.
Al Taawoun almost regained the lead two minutes later but Abdulrahman Hindi’s header from Al Tulayhi’s cross crashed against the bar as the teams settled for a point.
