With the goal, the Qatar players played confidently and forced Lebanon to defend. In the 79th minute, the Qatar fans in the stadium once again celebrated after Almoez Ali increased the score to 2-0 with a close-range shot.
And 2-0 was the final score of the match. With this result, Saudi Arabia and Qatar shared the first and second place in the group, while Lebanon ranked third, North Korea ranked last in group E.
Mourinho was compensated 15 million pounds by MU
The 55-year-old tactician lost his job on December 18 last year after two and a half years in charge of the Red Devils. Mourinho received £15 million in compensation, meaning he will be free to find a new home.
Previously, Mourinho's new contract with MU (1 year ago) was valid until the end of the 2019/20 season, with an option to extend for another season. However, when the agreement was not yet finalized, the relationship between the two sides broke down halfway.
Currently, Real Madrid - the former team that Mourinho led from 2010 to 2013 - is said to want to bring "The Special One" back to Santiago Bernabeu. President Florentino Perez still likes Mourinho very much and Los Blancos themselves are also facing many difficulties under Santiago Solari this season.
