Bounedjah: Happy to help the team to this historic win

Al-Sadd striker Baghdad Bounedjah was overjoyed after slamming home seven goals in a huge 10-1 derby win over Al-Arabi in the QNB Stars League on Sunday.

Speaking after the match, Bounedjah said: “I am happy to help the team to this historic win. I want to thank my teammates because they helped me to score this huge number of goals: Akram Afif, Al-Haydos, Gabi, Xavi and the others.

He added: “The match was really amazing. The win is the most important thing for us, as we look to continue our campaign and also prepare for the AFC Champions League match in high spirits.”

The Algerian concluded by saying: “The penalty brought us back into the game after Al-Arabi had earlier reduced the deficit. I want to wish Al-Arabi well for the rest of the league especially because they are one of the storied teams in Qatari football.”
