Lusail came from behind to beat Al Sailiya by two goals to one, in the confrontation that brought them together today, at Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium in the eighth round of the Qatari Football League “Doha Bank Stars League” competitions.
Khaled Mohamed scored for Lusail in the 38th minute, Rodrigo Moreno in the 90th + 4th minute, while Andrei Siobhatra scored for Al Sailiya in the 3rd minute.
With this result, Lusail returned to victories, raising its score to 9 points and moving up to seventh place, while Al Sailiya suffered its seventh loss to remain in twelfth and last place with one point.
Al Sailiya started the match in an ideal way, after taking an early lead through Andrei Siopatra, who took advantage of a passing error by Lucail player Khaled Walid, to go alone on goal and shoot a ball creeping to the right of the goalkeeper in the third minute.
The debate continued between the two teams with exchanged attacks, with Hamid Reda, the Lusail player, passing a cross into the area that passed without finding follow-up in the 21st minute, and Al Sailiya responded with a shot from Joselu that passed next to the post in the 25th minute.
Lusail then tried to recover and put pressure on his opponent’s goal until he was able to score the equalizing goal through Khaled Mohamed, who received a perfect cross from Hamed Reda, and put it into the net with a powerful shot in the 38th minute, ending the first half in a 1-1 draw.
After the start of the second half, Losail sought to continue the threat, and Spaniard Rodrigo Moreno almost scored after a cross from Hamid Reda, shooting a ball that was blocked by the goalkeeper in the 57th minute. Before Al Sailiya responded with a counterattack, Joselu penetrated and shot a ball that the goalkeeper brilliantly cleared before it entered the net in the 58th minute.
Joselu returned to threaten Lusail’s goal with a shot that almost missed the goalkeeper, who excelled in stopping it following a cross from Jordanian Ali Alwan in the 61st minute, while Lusail tried to score his second goal after Omid Ibrahimi fired a powerful ball that went over the crossbar in the 77th minute.
Losail snatched the winning goal in stoppage time through Rodrigo Moreno, who put Hamed Reda’s cross into the net in a wonderful way in the minute (90+4), after which the referee announced the end of the match.
