South African duo Thembinkosi Lorch and Cassius Mailula started in the attack for the first time since the opening loss to Manchester City.
Mailula made his presence known early on when he opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a powerful strike in the box after being picked out by Mohamed Moufid.
Al Ain got back on level terms in first-half stoppage through Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba, who converted a penalty after a decision from the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The UAE side carried that momentum into the second period as Alejandro Romero put the side ahead five minutes after the interval with a first-time curling strike into the top corner.
There was no way back in to the clash for the Moroccan giants, who finish the campaign bottom of Group G without a single point to their name.
