Qatar forward Hassan Al Haydos broke the game's deadlock after 25 minutes, and that was the only goal not scored from the spot.

Algerian attacker, Baghdad Bounedjad doubled his side's lead in the second half from 12 yards but Al Ahli pulled one back through Nigerian attacker Patrick Friday Eze.

Ayew took to Twitter to express delight in the victory, urging his teammates to continue pushing for more success.

"Another three points, Alhamdulilah, we keep pushing," he wrote after the game.

Meanwhile, manager Xavi Hernandez, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona described the game as a difficult one.

“It was a tough game, and we got an important win. We took a 2-0 lead and then our performance went down, before Al-Ahli managed to score their goal from the penalty," he told the club's website.
“We reacted in a great way after that goal, and we succeeded in ending the game well and to win by scoring four goals," added Xavi.
