In the two later AFC Champions League Group B games tonight, Shabab Al Ahli meet Saudi giants Al-Hilal and Al-Duhail SC face Sharjah FC. Victory for Shabab Al Ahli will confirm their round of 16 ticket but they will be facing a team who have yet to drop points on the continental stage this season. In the other match, both Al-Duhail SC and Sharjah FC need wins to keep their round of 16 hopes alive.

Murodbek Rakhmatov's eighth-minute goal separates the two teams after the first half. Nasaf Qarshi could dash Al-Shorta's dwindling qualification hopes if they hold on to their one-goal lead in the second half.

Though Nasaf have the lead, it is Al-Shorta who have dominated possession: 67 per cent as against 33. The difference is in the shots on goal, with Nasaf having six and the Iraqi club just two.

The Iraqi club bounces back! Al-Shorta have a leveller in the 68th minute from Shareef Abdul Kadhim, who latches on to Abdulrazzaq Qasim's assist and lets rip from outside the box into the top left corner.

One goal does not prove enough for Al-Shorta eventually, as the match ends at 1-1 after four minutes of stoppage time. While Nasaf were already out of the round of 16 race, the Iraqi club were theoretically alive and today's shared points officially put them out of contention.
