Felix's first attempt at the goal was ruled out due to a handball. But minutes later in the 39th minute, a cross by Angelo fell at Felix's feet, who delivered a deft touch to give his side the lead. Just three minutes later, Wesley doubled the lead after an eager pressing from Felix found him in the Al-Khaleej's box.
