match of His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah
Cup, against archrival Qadsia in penalty shoot-out held at Al-Kuwait Football
Stadium.
The match, which ended original time in negative draw, was less than
average in terms of performance from both major clubs, but in the shoot-out
Al-Arabi goalkeeper was able to bloc two critical shots made by Qadsia
