Doha: Hamad Bin Khalifa Stadium was the site of Umm Salal's 1-0 victory over Al Khor in the quarterfinals of the Amir Cup. Umm Salal won thanks to a goal scored by Yassin Bakhit in extra time (90+2). Four players were shown the yellow card with Al Khor’s Said Mohamed Brahmi (23) and Musab Abdulmajid (29) the first ones to be penalised. Khalifa Ababacar Ndiaye (70) and Omar Yahya Rabah (74), both of Umm Salal, were also cautioned for infractions. Another match yesterday saw Al Duhail, current QSL leaders, defeat Al Kharaitiyat, 1-0, thanks to an Ismail Mohamed goal in the 12th minute. Al Duhail enjoyed 76 percent of the ball possession as they battled past Al Kharaitiyat. Umm Salal and Al Duhail have now reached the quarter-finals of the tournament. In one of the two matches scheduled today, Doha giants Al Sadd – the 18-time champions – will take on Al Markhiya at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium, but the task will not be easy for the Wolves. Al Sadd are coming of with a win over Al Sailiyah in the QNB Stars League while Al Markhiya lost to Al Wakra in their previous match. In another match today, Al Rayyan will take on Al Sailiyah at the Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium. Both teams have struggled lately and will be desperate to advance in the Amir Cup, the country’s most popular football tournament. The Amir Cup final usually signals the end of the football season in Qatar.
