Basra, Iraq: Qatar's goal-scoring hero Abdulaziz Al Hatim on Saturday applauded his team-mates for a 'fighting display' in a 2-2 draw against Syria.     Al Hatim (58) and Akram Afif (72) combind well to score Qatar's goals against Syria at Basra Stadium.     Qatar, who beat Iraq 3-2 on the opening day of the Three-Nation International Friendship Tournament, on Saturday hit back after Syria were given the lead by Omar Al Somah in the 49th minute. Zaher Midani scored the second goal for Syria in the 72nd minute.     "It was a great match. It was a fighting performance from our side. We showed patience and attacked well," Hatim said after the match.   "The players never gave up and we scored two goals in the second half. We even took the lead and could have won today. We played a great first match also. These performances give us confidence," he added.   Hatim, 27, dismissed the constant arguments among the players during the feisty battle.   "It happens. It was all good fun," Hatim said.   Syria's Midani said on Saturday: "It was a great football match. Qatar also played really well. Our target was not to lose this match. I would say my players really fought well."   Hosts Iraq are the third side in the tournament being played to celebrate the return of football on Iraqi soil after more than three decades.
