Their second goal came after 30 minutes of the first half when Abbas Ali Atwi converted a penalty shot.

It was after this win that Lebanon striker Mahmoud El Ali hailed the performance of Antar and how much his presence had helped Lebanon.[51] Antar had received his second yellow card of the third round against South Korea and therefore did not take part in Lebanon's 4–2 away loss against the UAE on 29 February 2012.[52]
