Al Ain 2–1 Tractor: final score and goal scorers

The match center on beIN SPORTS records the full scoring sequence: Al Ain defender Ramy Rabia scored in the 21st minute, Tractor midfielder Tibor Halilović made it 1–1 in the 55th, and Houssine Rahimi restored the home side’s lead in the 70th minute. The AFC’s post-match report confirms that Rahimi’s second-half goal secured Al Ain’s third win in a row in the competition. The match finished 2–1.

The sequence gave both teams a meaningful response to manage. Al Ain led at the break, but Tractor’s equalizer brought the visitors level early in the second half. Rahimi’s goal came 15 minutes later and proved decisive. There was no further change to the score before full time. The beIN match page remains a useful reference for the goal timeline, while the AFC report provides the official competition recap.

What the result means in the West Region

Al Ain entered Matchday 3 with two wins, having scored four times in each of its first two matches, according to the AFC preview. The win over Tractor extends that run to three victories. It gives the UAE club a strong early position in the West Region league stage, although the result does not decide qualification: more fixtures remain, and the standings can change as the schedule continues.

Tractor had earned one point from its first two matches and, after this defeat, still had one point following three rounds. The visitors briefly moved level through Halilović, but did not convert that equalizer into a result. The AFC’s recap describes Tractor as still seeking its first win. For both sides, the next league-stage fixture will offer another opportunity to add points; readers should consult the AFC’s current schedule for subsequent dates and venues rather than relying on an older preview.

Kickoff, date and venue

The AFC’s official Matchday 3 schedule listed Al Ain FC versus Tractor FC for Monday, October 26, 2026, at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, with kickoff at 20:00 Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+04:00). That is 16:00 UTC on October 26. The Al Ain Club match listing also shows an 8:00 p.m. kickoff at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium. The venue time and UTC time refer to the same moment and date.

FanCode’s completed Match 35 listing displays 9:30 p.m. alongside the venue. FanCode is the AFC’s media partner for India for the 2025–2028 cycle, and 9:30 p.m. is the corresponding India Standard Time (IST, UTC+05:30) display. It is not the kickoff time in Al Ain. The listing identifies this fixture as Match 35; its page uses match identifier 4248714. Labeling the time zone helps readers distinguish the India listing from the stadium’s Gulf Standard Time.

Team availability and confirmed updates

Before kickoff, Al Ain’s official club site published a coach interview stating that the only absent player from the recent-match group was Soufiane Rahimi. The available passage does not give a confirmed medical diagnosis or say that the absence was disciplinary. Soufiane Rahimi is not the same player as Houssine Rahimi, who scored the winning goal in this match. This distinction matters when checking the club’s pre-match availability note against the scorer list.

The AFC post-match recap and the match listings reviewed for this update confirm the final result, date, venue, and scorer timeline, but they do not provide a corresponding Tractor injury or suspension bulletin. No further availability claim is made here. The AFC schedule and Al Ain’s club listing agree on the match date, venue, and local kickoff, and no schedule change is indicated in those records.
