Sadd cruise past Duhail to set up final against Gharafa

Al Sadd and Al Duhail players battle for the ball. Al Sadd stormed into the Amir Cup final with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Al Duhail in a high-intensity semi-final clash at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium last night. Goals from Akram Afif and Rafa Mujica handed Al Sadd a comfortable two-goal lead at the break, putting the Qatar Stars League champions firmly in control of proceedings. Al Duhail responded early in the second half through Boubakary Soumare to cut the deficit, briefly raising hopes of a comeback. However, Al Sadd quickly reasserted their dominance. Captain Hassan al-Haydos, introduced from the bench, delivered a decisive blow with the third goal to kill off the contest, before Afif added his second and Al Sadd’s fourth deep into stoppage time. Al Sadd produced a commanding attacking display throughout, controlling the tempo in what was the seventh Amir Cup semi-final meeting between the two fierce rivals.
