As the clock hit 90 minutes, Baghdad Bounedjah headed the Doha club level before Cazorla's heroics.

A cross from the left beat the attackers and was not cleared properly, falling to the Spaniard on the edge of the area.

Taking a touch, he then fired a blistering volley past the goalkeeper and into the far corner of the net.

Fans inside Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium celebrated wildly, the camera showing one youngster bouncing up and down while waving a flag.

Cazorla was mobbed by his team-mates before cupping his ears to the booming stands.

The moment marked his 13th goal in 20 appearances this season, having fired Al Sadd to the Qatar Cup final with a late penalty against Al Rayyan on Thursday.
