A superbly struck free-kick by Bassam Al Rawi yesterday guided Qatar into the last- eight of the AFC Asian Cup quarter-finals. Al Rawi produced the match-winner in the 62nd minute with a free kick that dipped in ate to beat goalkeeper Jalal Hassan Hachem as Qatar stunned the 2007 cham- pions 1-0 at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It was the fourth successive win for Qatar, coached by Felix Sanchez. Qatar, who topped Group E, beat Lebanon, North Korea and Saudi Arabia before edging past a determined Iraq yesterday. In the quarter-final on Friday, Qatar will take on Korea who yesterday beat Bahrain in the round of 16. Despite Iraq’s industrious start to the game, it was Qatar who spurned the first genuine opportunity when 2018 AFC Player of the Year Abdelkarim Hassan rattled the bar with a shot from close-range following Abdelaziz Hatim’s cross in only the fourth minute. As Qatar continued to press in the opening stages, a well-placed Hatim came close to connecting with Hasan’s whipped delivery, only for goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb to then dive bravely at the feet of an onrushing Mohanad Ali to repel Iraq’s opening attack of the tie.
