Al Bidda clinched the third edition of the QFA Cup after a 5-3 penalty shootout win over Al Shahania in the final on Wednesday. Both teams were locked at 1-1 at full time at the Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium. Mohamed Khalifa al-Suwaidi, Vice President of the Qatar Football Association, crowned the winners.
Shahania took the lead early after Francesco Antonucci converted a free kick in the 6th minute. But Al Bidaa equalised through a wonderful goal by Yamin Hameed in the 67th minute.
Bidaa was the most dangerous but they wasted several to score, especially as the match approached its end. In the penalties, Akram El amdawi, Abdeljalil Manser, Bright Enobakari and Mohamed Omar Suleiman scored for Al Bidda while Christian Dal Bello missed.
For Shahania, Ali Ahmed al-Omari, Mohamed Ismail and Mustafa Jalal scored, while players Niall Mason and al-Hassan Koroma shot wide.
