Doha: Ali Sanad scored the decisive spotkick as El Jaish defeated Qatar Stars League champions Lekhwiya 4-3 on penalties to lift the Qatar Cup.
Lekhwiya, who like El Jaish were eliminated from the group stage of the 2014 AFC Champions League, missed a golden opportunity to take the lead when Nam Tae-he saw his 17th minute penalty saved by Ahmed Abonora.
The Qatari champions would seize the initiative 17 minutes later through Vladimir Weiss but the Slovakia international midfielder’s opening goal was cancelled out on the stroke of half-time through a Jires Kembo-Ekoko free-kick.
