The teams were locked at 1-1 after the end of regulation time at the Hamad Bin Khalifa Stadium.

In the quarters, Shahania will face Al Arabi, who eased past Al Shamal 3-0 in yesterday’s other last 16 match. For Arabi, Omar al-Somah scored a brace in the 85th and 90+1 minutes after Aron Gunnarsson had given them the lead in the first half. PICTURE: Noushad Thekkayil
