Al Duhail missed out on the Challenge Shield after an Algerian star in their ranks failed to repeat what he delivered at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The match ended with Al Duhail falling short of lifting the trophy, as the decisive moments went against them and the shield slipped from their hands.
The same player, who had previously made the difference for Algeria during AFCON, could not produce a similar impact this time in the Challenge Shield, with Al Duhail unable to turn the game in their favour when it mattered most.
As a result, Al Duhail’s bid for silverware ended in disappointment, and the Challenge Shield went elsewhere.
