Al Rayyan goalkeeper Mahmoud Abunada expressed his delight with the team’s first-round victory over Lusail, saying during the press conference: “Thank God for the three points, and the match was not easy. We know the league requires stamina over a long season, so we focus on one match at a time. We secured the win in the first match, and now our focus turns to facing Al Wakrah. The match will not be easy, and our goal is the three points.”
He added: “We take every match and every competition one at a time. The focus right now is entirely on the league, and the Al Wakrah match will be extremely important. Al Rayyan enters every competition aiming to compete at 100%.”
