DOHA: Two second half goals secured Al Khor a place in the third of the Emir Cup as the Northern side managed to cancel out a 0-1 deficit and beat Mesaimeer 2-1 at Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium. The win ensured Al Khor will face Al Ahli in the third round of the competition next Thursday. Soud Nasser gave Mesaimeer a deserved first-half lead from close range - but they were then indebted to the woodwork as it denied Al Khor’s offense two glorious chances in the closing stages of the first half. Al Khor rallied after a passive first 45 minutes that saw them face the possibility of an early season finale; however, they drew level with 11 minutes left when Korean Ha Do Park took advantage of some poor defending from Mesaimeer’s end to slot the ball home from the edge of the six-yard box. As the game looked destined for Penalty shootouts to decide the winner, a trademark corner kick from Antoinio was converted by defender Nayef Al Buraiki to put an end to the match and an abysmal season forMeasimeer who were earlier relegated from the Qatar Stars League. In another round two matchup, seven-time champions Al Gharafa advanced to the next stage following a narrow 1-0 victory over Qatargas League champions Muaither. Vladimir Wies scored the lone goal on 53 minutes to pit his side against Umm Salal for Thursday’s match in a repeat for 2008 Emir Cup final
