Home side Al Wakrah welcomed the visitors Al Ahli to the Soud bin Abdelrahman stadium yesterday night for their round 9 clash.<br />
<br />
Al Wakrah had parted ways with Tunisian head coach Maher Kenzari after poor results had left them in 9^th place with just 7 points from 8 matches.<br />
<br />
The Blue Waves were looking to have a fresh start with their latest incumbent Algerian Noureddine Zekri however, it was not to be.<br />
<br />
Al Ahli for their part had won convincingly in the previous round against Kharaitiyat (4-0) and there attacking duo of Dioko and Meshal were continuing where they had left off last season.<br />
<br />
The first goal came courtesy of Alain Dioko on 22’ minutes but was soon cancelled out by last season’s top scorer Sebastian Saez (31’).<br />
<br />
Al Ahli replied almost immediately as they regained the lead just one minute later through a rejuvenated Meshal Abdulla Abdulla.<br />
<br />
Then to put an end to any thought of a Wakrah comeback Alain Dioko struck once again in the 68^th minute. The Congolese currently leads the Top Scorers standings with 10 goals in 9 matches.<br />
<br />
The result moves Al Ahli up to 4^th and Al Wakrah are resigned to yet another gut wrenching loss when they could least afford it. The Blue Waves are currently in 10^th place in the Qatar Stars League.
