The Qatari national team continued its winning streak in the Asian Cup on Monday, achieving a perfect score by defeating China (1-0) at Khalifa International Stadium in the final round of Group A matches. With this victory, Qatar's points rose to 9, placing them at the top of the group, while the Chinese team remained at 2 points in third place.
As the match progressed, the Spanish coach of the Qatari team, Marquez Lopez, began to feel a decline in his team's performance, leading him to bring in some key players who did not start the match, including Akram Afif and captain Hassan Al-Haydos.
Just minutes later, the Qatari team capitalized on the coach's substitutions, scoring a brilliant goal by Hassan Al-Haydos, who received a corner from Mohamed Waad outside the Chinese penalty area and struck it beautifully into the net in the 65th minute.
In the final minutes, China made attempts to score but to no avail, and the match ended with Qatar winning (1-0).
