Group C: FC EREM take runners-up spot

Prior to the match, Erem were tied with Qatar’s Al Sailiya on three points, and came unto the tie knowing they needed a win to progress to the quarter-finals.

Erem forced the issue right from the get-go and were rewarded just two minutes into the game when Yazid Kamaruzuan made a questionable pass back which was intercepted by an oncoming Dilshat Kadyrov, who slid the ball in to open the scoring.
