Xinhua,February 13, 2018 Adjust font size:

TEHRAN, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Qatari Al Duhail beat Iran's Zob Ahan 3-1 in Group B of the 2018 AFC Champions League on Monday.

Brazilian striker Kiros put Zob Ahan in front 10 minutes into the game.

The visitors defended resiliently and were successful in keeping Al Duhail attackers at bay, until the 74th minute when Youssef Msakni's shot was spilled by goalkeeper Mazaheri onto the path of Karim Boudiaf, drove home the rebound to equalize for the Qataris.

One minute later the defensive midfielder got his second of the night from a powerful header after Nam Tae-hee's cross from the corner.

The Korean playmaker was his side's creative force once more, finding Msakni with a cross that was swept home to round the scoring with five minutes to go. Enditem
