Al Ahli beat Al Markhiya 2-0 in the Expo Stars League at the Grand Hamad Stadium yesterday. Abdulrasheed Umaru (20th minute) and Yazan al-Naimat (33rd minute) produced two fabulous goals for Al Ahli and to which Al Markhiya, despite their trying efforts, could not find any answer. Al Ahli’s third victory in the league took them to eighth place, while Al Markhiya remain at the bottom. In the other match yesterday, a determined Al Shamal beat Qatar SC 2-0 at the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium. Qatar SC, who suffered a big setback when Raoul Sanda was shown a red card in the 24th minute of the match, could not find a way to go up on the score sheet despite some very close chances. Faisal Mohamed Azadi (fourth minute) and Omid Ebrahimi (34th minute) struck the goals for Al Shamal. Their second win of the league saw Shamal move to seventh spot, while Qatar SC are ninth.
