HAMILTON, New Zealand: Qatar U-20 team director Abdullah Al Hanzab was disappointed after watching his side handed a 4-0 defeat by Portugal on Wednesday, in their second Group C match of the FIFA U-20 World Cup but he still belives in the squad’s chances of qualifiyng to the second round. Qatar, who must now win their final Group C match to stand a chance of qualifying, rarely threatened, although they did carve out the first chance of the match. “Although our team were organised, we could not matchthe quality of our opponents. We were more confident in the second half, but after the third goal we knewwe couldn't get back in the game. Lack of performance in the 'details of the game' cost us. Experience won thematch today. We still have room for progression. Hopefully this experience will better the players”. “With just enough luck, we can still progress to the last 16, we have to beat Senegal first, who are a very good side with great traditions in age group competetions”.
