They were able to score the equalizer with a shot from outside the penalty area by Mali's Ibrahima Tandia in the 69th minute. Although Kuwait had the opportunity to take the lead, with a header from Fahd Al-Hajri that passed next to the post, they missed it. Likewise, Nayef Zuwaid missed a great opportunity for Al-Qadisiyah in the 89th minute.
The match was managed by the Greek referee, Anastasios, who made sound decisions, including two red cards issued to Rashid Al-Dosari and Ali Hussein in the 92nd and 95th minutes, respectively.
