Al-Sadd reached the final match of the Emir of Qatar Football Cup after putting an end to the adventure of Al-Shahaniya from the second degree, with a wide victory 5-1 Monday at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in the semi-finals of the fifty-first edition of the competition.

He scored for the Spanish dam, Santi Casorla (18 and 33 from a penalty kick), Moroccan Ayoub Al Kaabi (27), and Algerian Baghdad Bounedjah (89, 90 + 1).

Al-Zaeem, the most dominant in the championship with eighteen titles, did not find much trouble in registering his superiority, paving the way from the first half to crossing for the twentieth time in its history to the final scheduled for May 12, waiting for the winner from the confrontation between Al-Arabi and Al-Sailiya in the second semi-final. Tuesday.

Spanish coach Juanma Leo's team realized the importance of early scoring to force Al Shahania out of its areas, so it launched an attack from the start, creating many opportunities before Akram Afif won a penalty kick after he was blocked by defender Mustafa Jalal, so Casorla executed the kick successfully (18), before Al Kaabi added The second goal, taking advantage of a wonderful pass from Casorla and turned it into the net (27).

And Al-Sadd continued to press with full control over the course of events, so Casorla scored the third goal after a fine individual effort, bypassing more than one defender to confront the goalkeeper and put the ball into the goal (33).

Al-Sadd’s performance declined in the second half after excessive confidence after the hat-trick, to activate Al-Shahaniya offensively, narrowing the gap through Senegalese Ibrahima Ajayi, who mistakenly took advantage of defender Khokhi Boualem and confronted goalkeeper Saad Al-Sheeb and put the ball into the net (51), before the same player returned to score a second goal with his hand. The ruling canceled it on grounds of offside (63).
Al-Shahaniya's reaction raised the concerns of Al-Sadd, who regained the advantage decisively with a fourth goal through Bounedjah, taking advantage of the pass of substitute Ali Asad (89), scoring his 200th goal since joining the ranks of Al-Sadd club, before the player himself returned to score the second and fifth personal goal for his team (90 + 1).
