Al Sadd goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb saved from Hussain Fadhel in the shootout and former AFC Player of the Year Khalfan Ibrahim scored a hat-trick as former champions Al Sadd edged out Al Wahda of the United Arab Emirates 5-4 on penalties following an enthralling 4-4 draw after extra-time in Tuesday’s play-off.
Mohamed Al Shehhi appeared to have secured victory for the home side, who had been reduced to nine men following a second-half coming together which also saw Al Sadd’s Mohammed Kasola dismissed, as the midfielder netted in second-half stoppage time only for Ibrahim’s second of the night to dramatically send the tie into extra-time.
