TEHRAN -- Qatar beat Hong Kong 2-0 to
maintain their 100 percent record at the top of group 3 in
Asia's World Cup qualifying tournament on Sunday.
Former Trabzonspor striker Mohammed Salem Al Enazi hit his
fourth goal in three games to give Qatar the lead at the end of
the first half.
An own goal by Feng Ji-zhi in the 67th minute doubled the
Gulf side's advantage.
After three matches, Qatar are five points clear of nearest
rivals Palestine, who moved into second place in the group with
their first win, 1-0 against Malaysia.
Mohammad Al Geesh scored Palestine's winner nine minutes
before the interval.
