Hadi Aghily wins Sheikh Jassim Cup in Qatar

PFDC – DOHA, Al Arabi clinched the Sheikh Jassim Cup after beating Umm Salal 3-2 after extra time on Wednesday.

Brazilian Wanderley Santos’ brace in regular time and Algerian Boulem Khouki’s extra time goal sealed the sixth Cup title for the club.

Iranian national team defender, who had joined Al Arabi from Sepahan Esfahan in summer, played in central defense and certainly received a morale boost ahead of joining Team Melli for the World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia and Qatar.

Mohammad-Reza Khalatbari and Al Gharafa had narrowly failed to prevail from group stage and qualify for semifinals last week.

The Qatar Stars League will kick off on September 16.
