Al-Ahli punished the Nigerian representatives for those missed opportunities, with Muttasem El Taib scoring the vital goal that made the difference in the encounter for Al-Ahli five minutes before half-time.

The visitor’s chances of grabbing a vital equaliser then took a huge blow when Timothy Danladi received his marching orders midway into the second half. However, after tough encounter with numerous chances created the match finished 1-0 to Al-Ahli.
