Meanwhile, FC Goa s manager Juan Ferrando named an unchanged XI that earned them a vital point against Al Rayyan in their campaign opener.
Ismail Matar was in the thick of things right from the beginning with the 38-year-old using his wide range of passing skills to keep his side ticking.
While on the right, Khalil Ibrahim was the live wire as he kept asking questions of Sanson Pereira with his pace and dribbling skills.
In fact, the first significant chance of the match fell for Wahda when Goa s keeper Dheeraj Singh scuffed his clearance but before Matar could pounce, James Donachie rushed in with a crunching challenge to clear the danger.
