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.
