Al-Ahli Doha
Al Shahaniya
Al Shahaniya secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Al-Ahli Doha in a chaotic encounter that saw three red cards and a dramatic late goal. Abdoulaye Traore was the star of the show, netting twice just after halftime to put the visitors in command before Al-Ahli's task became even harder when Erik Expósito was sent off for violent conduct in the 72nd minute. Julian Draxler's 81st-minute strike gave Al-Ahli hope of salvaging a point, but Khalid Muftah's dismissal in stoppage time for a reckless foul ended any chance of an equalizer. The result moves Al Shahaniya further away from the relegation zone while leaving Al-Ahli in a precarious league position.
