Dramatic win for Al Arabi
Doha, Qatar: Two penalty goals in added time handed Al Arabi a dramatic, come-from-behind 3-1 victory against hosts Al Khor in the Qatar Stars League on Friday.
Hamdi Harbaoui (78th-minute penalty and 90+5-minute penalty) and Pierre Lasogga (90+8 minutes) scored Al Arabi’s goals.
Ahmed Hassan scored for Al Khor in the 37th minute.
Al Arabi, who were not in action last week as their game against reigning champions Al Sadd (Qatar Derby) was deferred due to the latter’s AFC Champions League first-leg semifinal against Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal played in Doha on 1st October, moved to 13 points. Al Khor stood on four points.
Al Khor thus suffered their fourth successive defeat, having lost to Al Ahli, Al Rayyan and Qatar SC also. In the other match of the day, Al Shahania held Umm Salal to a 1-1 draw to earn their first point.
