PivotalAl Rayyan staged a remarkable comeback in the dying moments to snatch a dramatic 3-3 draw against Qatar SC in what proved to be a thrilling Stars League encounter. After Qatar SC seemed to have secured victory through goals from Ali Saoudi, Joao Pedro, and Sebastian Soria's late strike in the 88th minute, Al Rayyan produced two goals in the 90th minute through Rodrigo and Aleksandar Mitrović to complete an extraordinary turnaround. The match was characterized by its end-to-end nature and ill-discipline, with seven yellow cards issued as both sides committed numerous fouls throughout. This result maintains both teams' mid-table positions but will feel like a victory for Al Rayyan after appearing dead and buried, while Qatar SC will rue their inability to close out what seemed like a certain three points.
