Qatar surprised host Lebanon 1-0 on Sunday to bolster its chances in Asian qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
Uruguayan-born striker Sebastian Soria scored in the 63rd minute of the Group A match, taking advantage of a poor pass from Ramez Dayoub and then eluding goalkeeper Ziad El-Samad for an easy tap-in.
Lebanon had several good chances in the first half, including a shot from Abbas Atwi that hit the post and an attempt from Hassan Maatouk that narrowly missed the target.
Qatar is set to host the 2022 World Cup but has never qualified for the tournament.
