The UAE Football Team Al Wahda came back from the Qatari capital Doha with three invaluable points following their victory over hosts Al Khuraitiat with two straight goals in their 2012 Gulf Clubs Championship away match played at Grand Hamad Stadium on Monday evening, February 20. Debutant Al Wahda are currently on top of Group B with three points and they are to take on Al Arabi of Kuwait on March 6.

The two teams ended the first session with a goalless draw after a balanced display. Ismail Matar opened the score for the visitors in the 58th minute with a strong volley before spearheading a counter attack seven minutes later that put Al Khuraitiat's   hops beyond reach. He sent a lovely pass to his Brazilian teammate Fernando Bayano who did not hesitate to drive the ball into the net adding the second goal that secured full points to the visiting squad.
