In a shocking turn of events, the defending champions of Qatar lost their league opener to Al-Shamal. The game was a very tough one with Al-Shamal exceeding our expectations as they also played their hearts out. Al-Shamal were already up by 2-goals in the 74th minute but Al-Sadd got one goal back in the 89th minute and Akram Afif lost their only chance of an equalizer in the last minute of the game as he lost a penalty from the spot in the last minute. In their second and most recent league game against Qatar SC, Al-Sadd showed their true colors by defeating Qatar SC with a 1-5 scoreline. Al-Sadd is currently 3rd in the league table and they’ll most definitely aim for another win as they take on Al-Arabi on Thursday.

Mendes got the first goal of the game for Al-Wakrah in the 58th minute and Al-Somah got the equalizer for Al-Arabi in the 77th.
