This happened in the AFC 2007 in both their games, one against Japan, and the other just recently against Vietnam. He also scored the leading goal against the United Arab Emirates, but the game ended in a 1-2 loss, which made both teams fall out. He is the only Qatari player to score on the 2007 Asian Cup, He scored 3 goals.
