(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Qatar's convincing 4-0 win over Singapore on Friday has delighted coach Daniel Carreno who said his team was ready for World Cup qualifying game against Bhutan next week.
Qatar scored four goals as Singapore failed to open their account at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Friday evening.
Mohammed Mousa, Mohammed Muntari, Hassan al Haidous and Ismael Mohammed scored the goals, all of which came in the second half.
Qatar began its qualifiers journey with a 1-0 win against Maldives in June.
They will face Bhutan on September 3 before travelling to Hong Kong on September 8.
"Technically we played a good game," Carreno said in an interview yesterday. "The performance level of our players and their intensity was pleasing to see," the Uruguayan said.
"We succeeded in exploiting the chances that came our way. So in a way that's good because when you put pressure on the opposition, you create chances to score and you must grab those chances," he explained.
"I must say the score looks as if it was an easy game. It was not an easy game," he said. "They are a strong side in defense," he said.
"What I saw positive in our side that we remained on the offensive for most part of the game," he said. Qatar take on Bhutan at the same venue on September 3 followed by a game against Hong Kong in an away clash on September 8.
"This win has helped us cover our bases as we get ready to play Bhutan and Hong Kong," he said.
On striker Senastian Soria and Bualem Khouky's return to the national side, Carreno said: "I have been following these two players and I am keeping an eye on their fitness. If fully fit Sebastian offers us experience at the front."
