Doha: While Al Rayyan’s coach Jorge Fossati was satisfied with a 2-2 draw against Al Sadd in the Qatari ‘Clasico’, Al Sadd’s Abdelkarim Hassan expressed his discontent over the stalemate, ruing missed chances against the Qatar Stars League (QSL) champions on Saturday.
Al Sadd fought back after conceding double to earn a point against Fossati’s team.
The Qatari international defender Hassan shared his views on his side’s momentous comeback in the big match as the Wolves grabbed two goals in the final two minutes to share the spoils with the Al Rayyan.
“Personally I am not happy with the result,” said the Qatari player.
“I had two good chances to score in the second half and missed,” added the 22-year-old defender.
Speaking about the tense encounter Hassan revealed they were shocked how Al Rayyan came out in the second half, scoring within ten minutes of the restart.
“Al Rayyan took us by surprise, but we fought back well to get into the tie. The red card for Victor Caseres helped us more.”
Hassan also had some words on Mohammed Kasola, who had received some criticism on social media ahead of the crunch clash.
“Before the game many people had things to say about Mohammed Kasola, but he proved them wrong with his goal tonight. I am proud of the goal he scored and he helped us get back into the game,” he said.
