Xavi's Al Sadd score first goal of 2019 Club World Cup

Al Sadd and Hienghène Sport opened the Club World Cup on Wednesday in the Jassim Bin Hamad in Doha, and the first team to score was the home side.

 Al Sadd's main striker Baghdad Bounedjah got the first goal.

In the 26th minute, the attacker poked home from the front post.

That was the first game of the tournament, and the next one will take place on Saturday between Al-Hilal and Tunis (15:00 CET).

However, the happiness was temporal as Hienghène from New Caledonia levelled just after half time through Antoine Roine. The hosts eventually won 3-1.
