The match remained goalless until stoppage time when Ousmane Camara and Firas Ben Larbi emerged as the heroes for the hosts. Camara netted the first goal in quick succession, scoring in the 94th minute and Ben Larbi added his own on the 99th minute, to seal Sharjah's comeback and send them to the final.
