Abdulmajid Anad opened the scoring in the eighth minute following a fumble from the goalkeeper that allowed him to strike home into an empty net from 25 yards at the Al Shamal Stadium.

A penalty from Mohamed Mousa in the 17th and Ahmed Mohamed in the 49th ensured Al Duhail were comfortable winners.
