DOHA (Qatar): Reigning QSL champions Al Duhail sealed their spot in Amir Cup semifinals with a 2-0 victory over Al Shamal in their quarterfinal on Tuesday evening.
Kenyan striker Michael Olunga (45+3) and Abdulla al-Ahraq (89) were the scorers for Al Duhail as the defending QNB Stars League champions stayed on for another yet trophy this season.
Five days ago, Sabri Lamouchi’s side missed out on a chance to bag their first silverware this campaign after they lost 2-0 to rivals Al Sadd in the final of the Qatar Cup.
Al Shamal defence gallantly stuck to their task. Eventually it took an Olunga strike in first half stoppage time to put Al Duhail ahead before al-Ahraq put the result beyond doubt in the closing stages of the game.
