New Delhi: A goal deep into stoppage time snapped Dempo's winning spree in the AFC Cup as the Goan outfit settled for a 1-1 against defending champions Al Muharraq in the Group E match at the Bahrain National Stadium last night.

Dempo struck first when Brazilian midfielder Roberto Mendes Silva Beto fired in a volley in the 75th minute.

However, the defending champions, desperate to register their first win in this year's campaign, managed to level score through Abdulla Al Dakeel in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time.

Despite the draw, Dempo - on seven points - lead the charts followed by Al Maged on four, according to information received here.

The Syrian club defeated Jordan's Al Faisaly 2-1 in another Group E encounter. Al Muharraq, after three successive draws, are on three with Faisaly bringing up the rear on one point.

Al Muharraq suffered a blow early into the game when influential midfielder Mohamed Salmeen got injured and had to be replaced by Abdulla Saleh.
