Qatar Beat UAE in Asian Games Handball Tournament

Incheon, September 21 (QNA) - Qatar scored their second straight win in Group C of the Asian Games handball tournament by beating the UAE 27-15 at the Seonhak Handball Gymnasium on Sunday. Abdulrazzaq Murad was in good form and scored eight goals as Asian champions Qatar, who had defeated Oman in their opener, notched up a convincing victory. The win put Qatar in the main round, but before that, they will test their skills on Monday when they face China, the silver medallists in 2010, in their last group match. Qatar led 15-7 at half-time. For the UAE, Mohammed Al Balooshi top-scored with six goals. "Two wins in two days, Ive no complaints," said Qatar coach Valero Rivera. "Tomorrow will be interesting when we take on China. We can't be complacent as there're several important matches ahead," said Rivera, a World Championship-winning coach with Spain. Qatar are expecting a podium finish this time after finishing fifth in Guangzhou, but Rivera was focused on the job on hand. "Of course, every team is here to win the tournament, but we must take one game at a time," said the Spaniard. (QNA)
