DOHA: A late penalty by Abdelrazzaq Hamadallah on Friday powered El Jaish to Qatar Cup glory in the final against defending champions Lekhwiya.
Hamadallah scored in the 90th minute as El Jaish stunned Lekhwiya 2-1 at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
Earlier, Mohammed Abdulla Methnani opened the scoring with a snap-header in the 30th minute.
Substitute Alain Dioko produced the equaliser off a powerfully taken penalty kick in the 79th minute.
But Hamadallah’s late strike saw coach Sabri Lamouchi celebrate a worthy win.
Qatar Olympic Committee Chairman HE Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani presented the trophies to players of both sides before handing over the Qatar Cup to El Jaish skipper Abulrahman Abakar.
