By winning this match the formidable Asian side earned 9 points in Group F of the AFC Asia Cup Qualifying Round.

The Qatar team geared up when they scored the first goal in the 5th minute of the match via a penalty converted by Wesam.

The Yemen-born referee, Al Yarimi, decided to blow the whistle when Pervez of Bangladesh illegally barred Mazz's progress.

The referee was in the thick again soon as he brandished the red card to the Qatar goalkeeper Abdulaziza when he caught the ball to protect a goal, outside the area, in the 18th minute of the match.

From an Arman through ball Moni was advancing when the goalkeeper raced out to block his progress and earn himself a sending off.

From the resulting freekick, Arman took the opportunity and curled in a stunning effort over the wall and into the net to tie it up at 1-1.

But Qatar soon showed their supremacy.

Adel made no mistake in the 35th minute of the match as he converted a nice pass by Khalfan (2-1). The Bangladesh goalkeeper Aminul was completely ruffled at the pace of the ball.

Khalfan got himself on the scoresheet only two minutes later capitalising on a Hasan miss-pass before the breather.

And Khalfan doubled his tally by scoring the fourth for his team in the 29th minute of the second half from a kick from near to the goal post.

Bangladesh missed a great chance near the end when Alfaz passed to Farhad but the forward's crisp volley was comfortably gripped by the alert Qatar goalkeeper.

Qatar coach Dzemaludin Musovic expressed his satisfaction over the performance of his team and said that they realized their target.

"We easily earned our desired three points," he said.

Bangladeshi players need more practice and physical fitness, he advised.

On the other hand, Bangladeshi coach Hasanuzzman Bablu said Bangladeshi players tried with their heart and soul.

"I think they played better considering that they practiced for only five or six days," he said.

"We have limitation and our most of the players are aged," he added.
