Esfahan: Al Sadd became the first side to secure their place in the semi-finals of the AFC Futsal Club Championship after defeating Port Authority of Thailand 6-2 at Pirouzi Stadium on Saturday.
The victory was the Qataris third in succession and means they have nine points that guarantees them a top-two finish in Group B.Both sides cancelled each other out during the opening exchanges but Al Sadd opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Kamyab Zahir juggled the ball past a defender before unleashing a rasping drive into the roof of the net.The Qataris were still congratulating themselves with the goal though when Port Authority responded immediately from the kick-off as Nattavut Madyalan struck.Al Sadd restored their lead after 12 minutes when Zahir's shot took a deflection off a defender and nestled in the back of the net with keeper Prakit Dankhunthod having already dived the wrong way.Mohssein Amro grabbed his first goal of the game soon after when he ran onto Xavier Rodrigo's diagonal ball before slotting home.Fabiano Ribeiro's side continued to dominate after the break and deservedly added a fourth in the 28th minute when Zahir feigned a shot that committed the goalkeeper into attempting a save and allowed the forward to chip home.Port Authority attempted to respond as Suchin Eamchalard swept a shot into the side netting before he stabbed an effort against the post.But Al Sadd were dangerous on the counter and soon punished Port Authority's attacking intent with strikes from Rodrigo and Errahmouni Bilal.Skipper Santanaprasit Tanakorn scored late for the Thais but it was not enough to prevent Al Sadd's march into the last four.
