MANAMA, BAHRAIN: Two goals apiece for attacking duo Amro Mohsin and Falvio saw pre-game favorites Qatar a 4-1 victory over Saudi Arabia in the opening round match of the 2015 GCC Futsal Championship currently taking place in Manama, Bahrain. Ali Sabaa produced the decisive assist as Flavio brock the deadlock just before the interval to send Qatar into halftime with a deserved 1-0 lead. Qatar were the more energetic side from the restart and shocked their opponents with two quick goals just four minutes inside the second half. In lieu of defending their 3-0 lead by accepting play and sitting at the back comfortably, Qatar dictated matters from end to end throughout the match, a beautifully set up fourth goal served as the icing on the cake to give Michal Straaz’s men the top spot in the competition ahead of tournament’s second round. In the other Day 1 matches, Kuwait rallied to a dramatic 6-4 win Oman, meanwhile UAE beat hosts Bahrain 1-0. صالات-سعودية-1
