After a balanced first half, Florinel Coman came out on the ramp in the 64th minute. Following an action of all the beauty of the hosts, Coman elegantly dribbled an opponent in the box, and shot powerfully with the left, on foot, without hope for Al Hosani.
Al-Gharafa failed to hold on to the result and Al Sharjah equalized in the 73rd minute through Luan Pereira.
The game reached the penalty shootout, where Cosmin Olăroiu's former team converted everything. Joselu, Brahimi, Sassi and Coman scored for Al-Gharafa, while Jang Hyun-Soo missed.
It is the #2 goal of 2026 that Coman manages, after the one in the away match against Umm-Salal, a match played on January 6. Immediately after the goal, Coman took a sharp look at the bench and made a suggestive gesture after slapping someone on the cheek.
It was a game that mattered for the quarter-finals of the Supercup. The other matches are Al-Wahda v Al-Duhail, Al-Sadd v Al-Ahli Dubai and Al Ahli Doha v Al-Jazira.
