Doha, Qatar: Qatar star Akram Afif scored a stunning goal as Al Sadd defeated Al Duhail 1-0 to reach the Amir Cup final at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium yesterday.
It was a solo effort from the forward, who carried the ball from the halfway line clearing several defenders to slot the winning goal in the 46th minute.
Al Sadd are now just a victory away from claiming their record-extending 19th crown as they will enter the title clash as favourites with Al Gharafa meeting Qatar SC in the second semi-final today.
The defeat ended Al Duhail’s abysmal season in which they finished sixth in the Expo Stars League (ESL) as defending champions, having clinched the treble last season. They will miss the next season’s AFC Champions League after failing to win the Amir Cup.
Yesterday’s result could have been different for Christophe Galtier’s Al Duhail had Philippe Coutinho converted a penalty in the first half of the cagey semi-final attended by 16,371 spectators.
