The visitor ensured victory in the 90th minute when Mohammed Barqesh found the back of the net. Following the result, FC Goa finished third in Group E with three points from six matches. Persepolis of Iran earned the top spot with 15 points while Al Wahda came second with 13. Al Rayyan of Qatar won the wooden spoon with just a couple of points.
