Doha, Qatar: The inaugural Qatar-UAE Super Cup and the Qatar-UAE Super Shield turned out to be a roaring success.
The landmark event started with Qatar’s Amir Cup champions Al Arabi edging UAE’s President’s Cup winners Sharjah 1-0 to lift the Qatar-UAE Super Cup at Doha’s Al Thumama Stadium on Friday, with UAE’s Pro League champions Shabab Al Ahli securing the maiden Qatar-UAE Super Shield with a 2-1 comeback victory over Qatar Stars League winners Al Duhail at Dubai’s Rashid Stadium yesterday.
It was a memorable win for Shabab Al Ahli with Igor Jesus heading in the winner in third minute of stoppage time off a clinical free kick by Yahya Al Ghassani from a distance last night.
Al Duhail had led the match after Philippe Coutinho shocked the home fans with a fabulous strike from about 10 yards after collecting Almoez Ali’s pass in 36th minute. Luka Milivojevic brought the home side back in the match, heading the equaliser in the 55th minute.
