Al-Arabi team achieved victory over Al-Sailiya with two unanswered goals in the match that brought together the two teams yesterday evening at Khalifa International Stadium in the third round matches of the Doha Bank Stars League for the current season 2026-2027. Al-Arabi’s two goals were scored by Youssef Sinana in the 45th minute, while the second goal was scored by Issa Lay in the 77th minute. With that result, Al-Ahlam achieved their first victory after raising their score to 5 points in third place, while Al-Sailiya remained without a score in last place.
The first half was somewhat even, with a relative advantage for Al-Arabi in the middle of the first half after it threatened Al-Sailiya’s goal a lot to score the first goal. On the other hand, Al-Shawaheen did not show its true teeth without threatening Jassim Al-Hail’s goal adequately. Before the end of the first half, Youssef Sinana succeeded in scoring the goal to advance Al-Arabi in the 45th minute with a header that he received after a distinguished execution of a corner kick, so that the first half ended with Arabawi leading with a goal.
In the second half, Al Sailiya started in a different way than the first half as a result of their serious search to score an equalizer and return to the match. Indeed, player Kellen van der Cap almost scored an equalizer in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar. This decline in Al Arabi’s performance forced the Romanian coach Cosmin to introduce the attacking trio of Osama Tannan and Khaled Mohamed Walunga to revitalize the offensive side and enhance the lead. Indeed, Al Arabi strengthened its lead in the 77th minute with a wonderful header from Issa Lai after a perfect cross. From Moroccan Oussama Tannan, this goal was a coup de grâce for Al Sailiya, who did not succeed in returning to the match, and the match ended with a well-deserved double for Al Sailiya, and it increases the suffering of Al Sailiya, which is experiencing an unenviable period after 3 losses from 3 rounds, starting from Al Duhail with two goals without a response, and from Al Shahania in the last round by three to two goals, and finally yesterday from Al Arabi.
