As the second half unfolded, Al Jazira showed glimpses of a comeback. Super-sub Ahmed Mohamed made his presence felt with a goal in the 66th minute.

But Khorfakkan's resilience shone through Antonio Junior crafted a brilliant counter, slotting home the team's fourth in the 84th minute. Despite a late penalty conversion by Al Jazira's Ali Mabkhout in the 93rd minute, Khorfakkan emerged victorious with a decisive 4-2 scoreline.
