Doha, Qatar: Al Rayyan and Al Duhail racked up comfortable wins while Qatar SC staged a brilliant comeback to hold Al Shahania in a six-goal thriller in the second round of the Qatar Stars League (QSL) Cup, yesterday.

Al Rayyan managed to stay unbeaten after collecting their second win in the 2024 QSL Cup when they stormed to a convincing 3-0 victory over Al Arabi at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.

Ahmed Al Rawi stole the show with a brace, scoring both his goals in the first half (24’, 43’), while Gabriel Pereira added a third in the 52nd minute. Al Rayyan’s Ali and Al Arabi’s Luiz Ceara both received marching orders following foul play in the 83rd minute, but the outcome of the match remained same, with the Lions securing full points.

Meanwhile, at the Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium, Al Duhail secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Al Ahli.

Following a goalless first half, Al Duhail upped their pace with Rashid Al Abdulla giving them the much needed lead in the 59th minute. Five minutes later, Al Duhail doubled their lead when Luis Alberto finished off a smart move, assisted by Qatari midfielder Khalid Mohammed.
