RIYADH: Qatar's 3-1 win over Oman on Sunday was due to 'consistent
attacking game', coach Djamel Belmadi said after his side reached the
Gulf Cup final with an explosive performance.
"We won because we were the stronger of the two sides. We attacked in a
sustained manner," Belmadi said after the match at King Fahd
International Stadium.
"Who says we won because Oman were not playing well? We were the best
side today and we deserved this victory," the Algerian said.
"Two days ago Oman beat Kuwait 5-0 but we were strong with our
attacking game," Belmadi said. "I would say we missed a few chances to
score more goals," he said.
"That was a disciplined show on many fronts. We were focused and
hungry to win," Belmadi said.
"It was important to reach the final and we have done that. I love the
attacking game. That's how you succeed," Belmadi said.
The final will be played on November 26.
