Doha: Al Duhail and Al Sadd registered their first wins in the Ooredoo Cup as Al Sailiya and Al Wakrah were locked in a 2-2 draw as the fourth round came to a conclusion yesterday.
Al Duhail beat Qatar SC 1-0 at the Qatar SC Stadium with the help of a goal scored by Yasen Abdallah in the 43rd minute. In the 16th minute, Qatar SC’s Yusuf Ayman Farhat unleashed a stunning longrange shot that beat Al Duhail goalkeeper Ahmed Sofyan, but the ball narrowly missed the crossbar in first real threat from the men in yellow.
At the half-hour mark, Qatar SC’s Anthony Okpotu outpaced Al Duhail defender Mohammed Moosa, but Sofyan stepped out of his position to block the chip shot and kill the threatening move.
As the half neared its end, Yasen swivelled past two defenders inside the Qatar SC box and quickly rifled a shot into the top of the net with keeper Motasem completely beaten by the pace of the shot.
Yusuf Aymen of Qatar SC was then given the marching orders for picking up two yellow cards, in a space of seven minutes as both teams were unsuccessful in scoring another goal. Later, at the same venue, a goal at the start of second half helped Al Sadd beat Al Khor 1-0.
