DOHA: Al Wakrah booked its place in the quarter-finals of the Amir  Cup following a penalty shootout win over Al Shahania at the Grand Hamad stadium. After the last 16 match ended goalless in regulation period, a marathon penalty shootout ensued with Wakrah emerging winners 10-9 only after Shahania captain Alvaro Perez blazed his spot kick into the stands. Both teams spurned chances in the ninety minutes of action, with Shahania getting the first opportunity to open the account but Ahmed Akaichi couldn’t hit the target. While Shahania dominated the early passage of play, Wakrah grew into the game.  Mohamed Benyettou had the chance to put Wakrah ahead but the strike hit his shot wide. Benyettou was close to scoring again at the stroke of half-time but Shahania goalkeeper Ebrahim Daryoush Mordou was alert to the danger. Wakrah did find the net just before half-time through Omar Ali, but the referee ruled it off side. In the second half, Shahania could have gone ahead if not for brilliant save by Wakrah goalkeeper Saoud Mubrak al-Khater. Akaichi was presented with another opportunity to score in the 66th minute, but the Shahania striker’s weak shot was easily grabbed by al-Khater.
