Even though Al Ain Club continued to impose its pressure in an attempt to reduce the difference in goals, and they were very close to scoring their first goal in the minute of 70, but a ball shot by Laba slipped again by the competing team’s post. During match’s final minutes, Al Nasr Club was working to secure its third goal with which they can equalize the final aggregate of both matches, but the defensive line of Al Ain Club managed to firmly tackle all scoring attempts on their net.
With the final whistle, The Boss managed to decisively secure the qualifying ticket to the tournament’s final match, taking advantage of their supremacy in the aggregate of both matches, so they managed to continue their journey through the competition race with great confidence and ambition.
