After the goal, Al-Wahda maintained control, with a possession rate exceeding 58% compared to Ajman's 41% by the end of the first half. Despite Al-Wahda's attempts to extend its lead, Ajman's defensive discipline prevented further goals.
In the second half, Al-Wahda maintained dominance, but the intensity decreased. Ajman's defensive efforts and occasional offensive attempts limited clear scoring opportunities. In the 78th minute, Ajman was awarded a penalty after a VAR review, but Al-Wahda's goalkeeper Rashid Ali saved it.
