Doha - Arab Today
Qatar Sports Club welcomed Al Kharaitiyat to the Suhaim bin Hamad stadium for the late kick off in the round 23 Qatar Stars League clash.
Qatar SC has had some of the best form in the second part of the season and were the clear favorites going into tonight’s match.
Things went according to script for the home side, as Qatar went into the lead just 15 minutes into the game as second top goal scorer Hamdi Harboui headed bravely past the on-rushing keeper.
However Kharaitiyat responded with a goal just before the end of the first half. The Thunders won a corner and striker Hasan Abd Al Fatah scored his 12th goal as the Jordanian found himself unmarked in the box. The replay showed that he scored with his abdomen and thigh as the ball bounced off him and into the goal.
In the second half, the visitors kept their momentum going as Yahia Kebe then doubled their thunders lead. Again, their goal came from a corner as the striker flicked on a near post header past the keeper and into the back of the net (56’).
Then Kharaitiyat got the vital two goal cushion they were looking for when a Mohammed Yasser cross to the back post was met by Fatah who scored his second goal of the night with a powerful header back across the face of goal (71’).
Yousef Mohammed Al Kubaisi scored for the Kings late on (89’) but it was too little too late as they lost their chance to close the gap on Al Sadd who are in second place.
Kharaitiyat continue their revival and move up into 8th place on 30 points.
