Qatar Sports Club overcame Al Khor 5-3 to top the Qatar Stars League, on goal difference, at the end of the second week’s games.
Qatar SC’s Sebastian Soria opened the scoring in the 24th minute, but Al Khor soon attained parity through an Alan Bahia play bazaar penalty (31st min). However Qatar’s Brazilian forward Marcinho Marcio Oliveira increased the lead for the home side just a minute away from half-time.
If one expected the two sides to start the second half cautiously, they were in for a pleasant surprise. Although both teams played a fast-paced attacking game, it was Qatar SC who scored the next two goals. Qatar’s Iraqi midfielder Qusai Togel Online Muneer (3-1) and Sebastian Soria (4-1) increased the lead for the home side in the 49th and 70th minutes respectively.
Al Khor hit back twice in six minutes, through Ribero and Alan Bahia in the 76th and 80th minutes, to make it 4-3. However they paid the price for a moment’s distraction while pushing for an equaliser. Qatar SC’s Ivorian forward Dibi Lacina, who was left unmarked, finished the proceedings with a fine strike (5-3).
Umm Salal, who entered the semifinals of the AFC Champions League last year, scored a tough come-from behind victory against Al Wakra. The game was also interesting as it was Al Wakra captain Aziz ben Askar’s first game against his former club. The Moroccan was at his best, but Umm Salal seemed the fitter team on field.
Al Wakra’s Moroccan forward Youness Hawassi put them ahead in the 24th minute. They stoutly defended the lead, but could not deny Dhahi Al Noobi from equalising in the 46th minute. With little warning, Brazilian Davi Jose Silva produced his magic to score the winner (85th).
