Ex-Liverpool star Roberto Firmino nets first goal for Al Sadd | OneFootball

This Thursday, the Brazilian Roberto Firmino, a Champions League winner with Liverpool, scored his first goal wearing the Al Sadd jersey in a 2-0 victory over Al Gharafa, during the third round of the Qatar Championship, at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.

“I am very happy with my start here at Al Sadd. My family and I are already fully adapted to Qatar, a fantastic country, which makes everything easier. Thank God, we played a good game against a qualified team and achieved a great result at our home. And the first goal came, which I dedicate to my wife (Larissa) and my four daughters,” he said.

The match against Al Gharafa was the Brazilian striker's third for the Qatari club. He made his debut last week, coming on in the second half of a 3-2 loss to Qatar SC. In the following match, already among the starting eleven, he provided an assist in the 2-0 victory over Al-Ahli Doha.

In this Thursday's duel, Al Sadd took the lead just four minutes into the game, with a goal from Algerian full-back Youcef Atal. Then, six minutes into the second half, Akram Afif returned the favor from the last game and assisted Firmino's first goal for the club.

Al Sadd's next match, this Monday, will again be against Al Gharafa, but this time for the QSL Cup. The match kicks off at 2:30 PM (Brasília time), at Stadium 974.
