The Riyadh Victory Team, led by 40-year-old Ronaldo and ranked first in Saudi Arabia before the game, ushered in the first round of the AFC second-tier group stage. Riyadh Victory Team played at home to face the third-ranked Dushanbe Independent Team in Tajik United.

In terms of paper strength, Riyadh Victory Team is far stronger than Dushanbe Independent Team, because Riyadh Victory Team's entire team's value is nearly 170 million euros higher than Dushanbe Independent Team's entire team's value is only 4.48 million euros. It can be seen that the paper strength between the two sides is huge. Moreover, in the last two matches, Riyadh Victory Team has the upper hand, because Riyadh Victory Team achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw in those two matches, so before the game, more fans were full of confidence in Riyadh Victory Team's victory over Dushanbe Independent Team at home.

In this game, Ronaldo was exempted from the game and did not make it to the roster. The reason was that Ronaldo was too tired and this event was not important, so the coach believed that giving Ronaldo more rest time is the most important thing in the league and domestic cup games.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Garib shot in the upper right corner of the penalty area to help Riyadh win the lead.

3 minutes later, Garib sent a wonderful pass, and Angelo scored a shot from the left side of the penalty area to help Riyadh win another goal to expand his lead.

In the 14th minute of the second half, Ganem made a wonderful pass, and the 20-year-old Brazilian New Teixeira staged a one-stop scoring show to help Riyadh win and win another game. In the end stage, Riyadh won two more games.

In the end, Riyadh defeated Dushanbe Independent as he wished, ushering in a good start to the second-tier group stage of the AFC Champions League.
