Baniyas continued their offensive momentum in the second half and were rewarded with a penalty kick in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, Youssouf Niakate was unable to capitalize, as his spot-kick failed to find the back of the net, denying Baniyas a crucial goal that could have shifted the momentum of the match.

The Sky Blues maintained their attacking efforts until the final minutes, while Khorfakkan relied on defensive organization and counterattacks. Deep into stoppage time, Tarik Tissoudali added the third goal in the 93rd minute to seal the result for the visitors.
