The Doha Bank Stars League refused to be its beginning and its start normal, and insisted on launching its surprise since its first tour, which witnessed a great stumbling of the defending champions, and its runner -up, and also witnessed Al -Ahly’s fourth season’s stumbling last season against the north.
Al -Gharafa is almost the third that one of the victims of the adult square in the first round had it not been for him that he was able to return with great difficulty, and the fifth Rayan also escaped from the surprise.
The first round was strong and exciting, and it was fun in more than one match, and some of its results remained hanging until the last minute.
The dam stumbled with three goals against Qatar in a match that was in its second half the top of excitement and pleasure, in which the king gave a strong performance unlike his previous beginnings, and on the contrary the leader was not convincing despite his dependence on all his offensive weapons.
Al -Duhail escaped the runner -up from the loss and went out in a draw with a goal with Al -Shahaniya, and he got a special point in terms of performance and level, while the spell was very good and knew how to seize a draw equal to a victory.
Al-Gharafa, the third league, was late with two goals against Umm Salal, who miraculously survived and the match between relegation last season, and he suffered a lot until he managed to return and adjust the result and achieve victory 4-2, taking advantage of the mistakes of Umm Salal and his coach who did not know how to maintain his progress with two goals.
Al-Rayyan made an extraordinary effort in the second half to escape the first loss to his Selected strategic ally and achieve a difficult victory 3-1 after a good performance in the first half and after a starting start for Celia.
Brigadier General, fourth league, received a strong shock by losing to the north and two goals, after a confrontation in which the north was the most dangerous and closest to the goal, while Al -Ahly did not make the expected offer.
Al -Arabi did not succeed in investing twice over Al -Wakra, and in turn, Al -Wakra could not reach the victory after the draw, and each of them came out with a point.
Lopez is the best coach .. and the age star of the tour
The Spanish coach Marquis Lopez deserves to be the best coach in the first round of the Doha Bank Stars League, not only for his success in winning the title holder and three, but for the performance that the king has appeared, which confirms that he will be different from the past seasons, especially if he continues in the same manner and succeeds in developing his performance.
On the other hand, Mohamed Omar, the Northern striker, deserves to be the star of the round after he shine greatly against Al -Ahly and was a constant source of inconvenience to the Al -Ahlawi defense and crowned his efforts with the second goal that confirmed the victory deserved for his team.
Gidis tops early
Al -Rayyan striker Rogar Gidis topped the scorers’ list early, as he was the only one among all the players who scored two goals in the first match for his team against Al -Sailiya, while the rest of the goals scored the rest of the players with a goal for each player, and it seems that Gidis has the intention to maintain the title of Al -Rayyan’s top scorer and the league for the second season in a row after he won the title last season.
