Doha: Striker Mohammed Muntari came off the bench to fire a brace as Al Gharafa fought back from two goals down to beat Umm Salal 4-2 in the second Amir Cup semi-final at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium on Monday. Chasing their first Amir Cup title since their 2012 triumph, Pedro Martins’ Al Gharafa will meet Al Rayyan in a mouthwatering title clash at Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday. Al Rayyan eased into the final, having blanked Al Ahli 3-0 in the first semi-final on Sunday. However, Al Gharafa were stunned by Umm Salal early in the match, as they gained a two-goal cushion following Othman Al Yahri’s 12th-minute strike and an own goal by Aron Gunnarsson in the 23rd minute.
