Emir of Qatar Cup: Al Sadd completes the contract for the semi-finalists

Al-Sadd crossed into the semi-finals of the Emir of Qatar Football Cup by defeating Umm Salal 3-1 on Tuesday in the quarter-finals.

Hassan Al-Haidous (51), Akram Afif (56) and Moroccan Ayoub Al-Kaabi (90 + 3) scored the goals of Al-Sadd, and Jordanian Yassin Al-Bakhit (82) scored the goal of Umm Salal.

Al-Zaeem completed the title in 18 terms by holding the qualifiers to the quarter-finals, setting a date on April 24, with Al-Shahaniya, the qualifier, at the expense of Al-Gharafa 4-3 on penalties (original and extra time 3-3) on Sunday.

In the second semi-final scheduled for the current 25th, Al-Arabi, who qualified at Muaither’s expense 2-0, will meet on Saturday with Al-Sailiya, who eliminated Al-Duhail, the defending champion, 5-4, with a penalty shootout (regular and extra time 2-2) on Monday.

Despite the defensive efficiency of the team of Moroccan coach Talal Al-Karkouri in the first half, Al-Sadd was more effective in the second half, as the scoring began with a set-piece that was executed by Commander Al-Haydos in a wonderful way (51), before Afif secured the result with the second goal after he took advantage of a pass from Moroccan Ayoub Al-Kaabi (57). ).

Umm Salal revived his hopes of returning to the match when Al-Bakhit reduced the score, taking advantage of Elias Hamid’s pass (82), but he received a painful blow by expelling his Moroccan player, Adel Al-Rahili (87), so Al-Sadd took advantage of the deficiency and scored the third goal through Al-Kaabi after a pass from Algeria’s Baghdad Bounedjah (90 + 3). ).
