Doha, Qatar: Expressing his delight on win over Al Duhail, Al Rayyan coach Leonardo Jardim said his team still has a chance of winning the Expo Stars League (ESL) title.
The Lions defeated the defending champions 2-0 on Sunday night to consolidate their fourth spot in the standings as they moved to 35 points – 12 clear of reigning Amir Cup champions Al Arabi, who are occupying the fifth place.
Al Rayyan are eight points adrift of leaders Al Sadd, who edged out Al Markhiya 2-1 after substitute Yousuf Abdurisag’s last-gasp winner on Sunday. They are also trailing Al Gharafa by five points and are two points behind Al Wakrah.
But Jardim is targeting the top spot with four matches still remaining in the top flight.
