Doha, Qatar: Michael Olunga’s decisive header secured a 1-0 victory for Al Duhail as they edged past Al Ahli, restoring their four-point lead in the Ooredoo Stars League (OSL) at Al Thumama Stadium.
In other action yesterday, substitute Khaled Mahmoudi scored a late winner as Qatar SC rallied to stun 10-man Al Wakrah 2-1 while Baghdad Bounedjah’s hat-trick propelled Al Shamal to an emphatic 5-2 victory over Al Arabi.
Al Ahli entered the clash against Christophe Galtier’s Al Duhail as the only unbeaten side this season, and they delivered an impressive performance against the Red Knights, who were returning to action after a shock loss to Al Shahania.
However, Olunga’s header proved to be the difference.
In a tightly contested top-of-the-table clash, both sides remained evenly matched until Al Duhail ramped up the pressure late in the first half.
