Qatar edged Jordan 3-0 in their first group match of the Doha Asian Games to make a fantastic start at the Al Sadd Football Stadium here on Tuesday.

Striker Quintana Sebstian, 18, put the hosts ahead six minutes into the game with a comfortable shot inside the box following front man Abdulrahman Hussain Yaser's inch-perfect low cross from the right.

Midfielder Moha Adel Lamy doubled the lead for Qatar with a timely follow-up into an open net after forward Rajab Bilal Mohammed rounded the keeper.

Abdulrahman sealed victory when the speedy striker ghosted in the area to poke in a pinpoint center from midfielder Al Hamad Messaad Ali.

Qatar made a high-tempo opening, dominating the midfield with swift short passes and smart interchanges. Jordan relied more on the counter-attacks, but posed big threats to the hosts on two occasions in the first half.

Jordan rallied after the interval, pushing forward and launching fierce attacks. Qatar were obviously not well prepared for their opponent's burst and the defence was in disorder for a period. However, it was Qatar who created real chance and finished off the night with three points.
