The next goal was extremely lucky in the 89th minute. Before that, al-Karama was able to eliminate experienced teams from Iran and Saudi Arabia (including al-Ittihad ) in the preliminary round as well as in the eighth, quarter and semi-finals . In 2009 the club won the cup and championship double for the third time in a row .
