The Jordanian side came into the match with seven points from three matches, having eased to a 4-0 win over Al Ittihad in the reverse fixture two weeks ago, a result that left the Syrians bottom of the group with one point going into Matchday Three.

The two sides entered the match level on points, with four each. Kuwait SC held a relative advantage having secured a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture in Bahrain.

Kuwait SC’s first chance came before the 15-minute mark through Faisal Zayed who got on the end of an Abdullah Al Buraiki cross, but his header went inches wide off the post.

First up will be Group G on Tuesday, before the eight sides in Groups F and H follow suit a day later in what promises to be another thrilling round of fixtures.

After the first set of games, Tajikistan’s FC Istiklol lead the way in Group D, Bangladesh’s Abahani Limited Dhaka do likewise in Group E and both 4.25 SC of DPR Korea and Hong Kong’s Wofoo Tai Po are on maximum points in Group I.
