DOHA: Al Kharaitiyat on Tuesday beat Al Shahaniya 3-1 at Grand Hamad Stadium.   Rachid Tiberkanine scored twice in the win for Al Kharaitiyat.   Goals by Mohammed Abdulrab and Rachid put Al Kharaitiyat in a commanding position at Al Arabi Stadium before Rachid added another with a penalty kick to take the game completely away from Al Shahaniya.   Al Rab scored the first goal in the 15th minute to give Al Kharaitiyat the lead before half time.   However, Al Shahaniya came back strongly to find an equaliser and they succeeded when Fahad Khalfan directed the ball into the back of the net from close proximity in the 49th minute.   Al Kharraitiyat made things difficult for Al Shahaniya when Rachid made it 2-1 in favour of Al Kharaitiyat in the 62nd minute.   With 10 minutes to go, Rachid scored his second goal of the match, his 16th in the season, beating the Al Shahaniya goalkeeper who made a difficult dive onto his left.   The winners will now meet QNB Stars League team Umm Salal in the third round of the tournament.
