In the second half, Khabba scored Al-Qadsieh’s second goal in the 49th minute, capitalizing on an excellent effort from Badr Al-Mutawa, who provided the assist to send the ball into the Indian net.
Al-Qadsieh players missed several opportunities to extend their lead, with the most notable coming from Omani substitute Nasser Al-Rawahi, who dribbled past three Goa defenders before hitting the post in the 78th minute.
