DOHA: Qatar will keep working hard in the coming weeks, influential
striker Hassan Al Haydos said after his side lost 2-0 to Peru in an
international friendly at Lekhwiya Stadium on Tuesday.
Late strikes by Alexander Callens (84) and captain Jose Guerrero (86)
saw Peru home.

It was Qatar's fourth game without a win after a 0- draw against
Morocco after having shared the spoils with Indonesia and Macedonia in
friendlies played since March.
Qatar's Hassan Al Haydos said: "We will improve in the coming games.
We have worked hard in recent weeks. We will keep working hard. We
couldn't score today. We had the chances. No, we didn't have any
coordination problems. We have played well as a team and we can do it
again in the next games."

Qatar are preparing for the Gulf Cup to be held in November in Saudi
Arabia and the 2015 Asian Cup that will be staged in January in
Australia.
Peru goalkeeper George Forsyth said: "First of all, thanks for having
us. It was a good match. You guys played well. But luckily we scored a
couple of late goals. There was big pressure on us, especially in the
second half. Luckily we defended well and didn't concede any goals."
