Algeria's Soufiane Hani scored his first goal for Al Gharafa with a stunning heel strike and also made two goals to help Al Shahania win 3-0 in the opening round of the Qatar Stars League on Thursday.
Haney, who came from Spartak Moscow this summer, escaped from control to receive a cross and shot the ball with the heel to pass over the goalkeeper who did not move a second goal in the 72nd minute.
Eight minutes ago, Hani passed the ball to Ahmed Alaa to open the scoring with a low shot.
Cooperation between the duo was repeated in the third goal when Hani gave Ala a ball that made him alone with the goalkeeper and shot in the near corner in stoppage time.
Al Gharafa, who finished eighth last season among 12 teams, are looking to return to the competition this season after missing the podium since 2010.
