Al Duhail defeated Umm Salal 6-1 in Week 21 of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League at the Al Gharafa Stadium on Wednesday.

Michael Olunga (12th minute), Sultan Al Breik (45th minute), Paulo Edmilson Junior (48th minute), Abdulrahman Mohammed (51st and 77th minutes) and Rashid Al Abdullah (86th minute) scored for Al Duhail.

Yassin Al Bakhit scored Umm Salal’s only goal in the 83rd minute.

Al Duhail raised their tally to 46 points with their 14th victory, while Umm Salal remained on 25 points following their eighth defeat and fifth successive loss.

Umm Salal had beaten Al Duhail 2-1 in the first leg of 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League.

In hindsight, Al Duhail reaped the rewards for putting up an organized display, whereas Umm Salal paid for their lack of cohesion in all departments of the game.

Al Duhail attacked from the start and took the lead when Olunga headed in a measured corner kick taken by Edmilson, leaving the Umm Salal defenders and goalkeeper Khalifa Aboobacker hapless.

Al Duhail controlled the game and Edmilson sent his shot against the left post following his brilliant dribble-in into the rival goal area in the 35th minute.

Olunga and Edmilson led the Red Knights’ attack, with support from Abdulrahman Mohammed, who later scored a couple of goals.

Two minutes after the Umm Salal goalkeeper saved Abdulrahman Mohammed’s long-range shot came Al Duhail’s second goal, with Al Breik finding the target.

Al Duhail made merry in the second half as Edmilson and young Rashid too got on to the scoresheet apart from Abdulrahman Mohammed’s goals.

Al Bakhit’s goal was the only reply Umm Salal had to show for their efforts. He had a ground shot saved by Al Duhail goalkeeper Salah Zakaria in the 65th minute.
