In the 25th minute, the Brazilian Kaiki almost scored a goal for Al-Khor from a ball he received and then shot it strong, but it went out next to the post of Qatar Club. With the passage of time, the first half ended in a goalless draw. In the second half, Qatar SC took the initiative to attack the Al Khor goal, which played on the fast counterattacks, taking advantage of the speed of the Greek Vitfa and the Brazilian Kiki in the attack. In the 59th minute, Qatar SC almost advanced from a corner kick, which Martinez met with a strong header, but the goalkeeper of Al Khor saved it with difficulty, then Al Khor tried again to move the ball in the middle of the field in order to relieve pressure and attacks from its goal. In the 67th minute, Al-Khor scored the first goal through the Greek Vitfa from a ball he received inside the penalty area and played it directly in the goal of Qatar SC goalkeeper Mutasim Al-Bastami. At a time when Qatar Club tried to return and score a tie, Al Khor managed to score the second goal through Nayef Al-Buraiki in the 89th minute, to end the second half and the match with Al Khor winning with two goals without a response.
