Shabab Al Ahli and Tractor S.C. shared the points in a 0-0 draw in the AFC Champions League Elite on March 3, 2026. The match at Al Awir Stadium in Dubai was a physical and tightly contested affair where clear-cut chances were at a premium for both sides. Shabab Al Ahli, the Emirati hosts, controlled possession for large spells but found it difficult to penetrate a resolute Tractor defense that was well-organized and disciplined. The Iranian team's best opportunities came on the counter-attack, but they lacked the numbers to truly test the home goalkeeper. The second half saw the intensity rise, resulting in several yellow cards, but neither team could find a breakthrough. The draw was a result that did little to harm either team's knockout stage aspirations in a balanced group.
