Ahli are trailing by a goal against Bayern Munich in one-sided first half in Doha. The Bavarians are expectedly in charge of play even though Ahli coach Manuel Jose is deploying an ultra-defensive strategy at Al-Rayan Stadium. Ahli center-half Ahmed Al-Sayed scored the only goal of the game so far into his own net, following a header by Toni Kroos. Bayern had star striker Mario Gomez substituted by Ivica Olic after just ten minutes due to injury. Dutch ace Arjen Robben should have doubled the lead before the break when he went one-on-one with Sherif Ekrami, but the Ahli keeper did superbly to thwart.
