DOHA: In an incredible performance; striker Baghdad Bounedjah

on Friday produced four stunning goals to lift Al Sadd into the

semifinals of the Emir Cup.

Playing at Lekhwiya Stadium, Bounedjah could barely out a

foot wrong as Al Sadd crushed Al Kharaitiyat 4-1 in the third

quarterfinals.

Bounedjah scored all of his goals in the first half.

He scored the goals in 8th, 36th, 40th and 45 + 4 minutes. His

last goal was scored when he easily converted a penalty kick.

For Al Kharaitiyat, their only goal came from Sanjar at the

half hour mark.

proceedings though they could not add to their impressive

rally of four goals.

trophy double having won the Qatar Cup last week.

semifinals.

The Emir Cup final will be played on May 19.
