Muhammed Razarak's second-half goal led Qatar to a 3-2 victory at Indonesia Tuesday in third-round Asian qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.

Qatar went ahead in the 14th-minute through Abdulaziz Al Sulaiti before Cristian Gonzales canceled out the opener in the 26th.

Khalfan Ibrahim put the visitors ahead again in the 31st before Gonzales rallied the hosts again in the 35th with his second goal.

Razarak gave Qatar its first victory from three games in Group E after going clear to score the winner in the 59th at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

Iran and Bahrain are ahead of Qatar, which now has three points. Indonesia remains in last place without a victory from three games.

''If you defend like this it's very hard to win a game,'' Indonesia coach Wim Rijsbergen said. ''It's good to see at least that we can score some goals.''
