(AFP) Janoub Stadium on Thursday. (AFP) Hamdan’s solitary strike seals the deal; Unlucky Qatar fought hard but could not breach defence despite chances AFC DOHA HOSTS and three-time cham- pions Qatar bowed out of the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup as Saudi Arabia rode on a soli- tary goal to make the final of the prestigious regional tour- nament at the Al Janoub Sta- dium on Thursday. Abdulla al Hamdan was the hero, scoring in the 28th minute as Saudi Arabia sealed a meeting with Bahrain in Sunday’s final. Bahrain defeated Iraq 5-3 on penalties after their tie ended 2-2. The match saw a slow start with no notable chances in the first 20 minutes although Qa- tar had more of the ball. However, it was Saudi Arabia who took the lead with Sultan Al Ghanam com- pleting a surging run down the left by sending in a cross that was deflected by Tarek Salman. Qatar goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb tried to clear the danger but the pacey Al Hamdan did just enough to steer the ball into the net.
