Al Rayyan beat Al Sailiya 4-2 in Week 7 of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League at the Al Gharafa Stadium on Tuesday.

Yohan Boli (49th and minute), Mowafaq Awad (71st and 89th minutes) and James Rodriguez (74th minute) scored the goals for Al Rayyan.

Substitute Ramin Rezaein (86th-minute penalty) and Ahmed Sebaie (88th minute) were Al Sailiya’s scorers.

Al Rayyan, who had lost to Al Sadd in tie-breaker in the Amir Cup final last Friday, moved on to nine points with their second victory.

Al Sailiya, who suffered their fifth defeat, remained on four points.

Both teams had their share of chances in the first half.

Al Sailiya created early opportunities, with Meshal Al Shammari finding it tough to beat Al Rayyan goalkeeper Fahad Younes in the 10th and 15th minutes.

Close to half-hour mark, Al Rayyan really came into the game.

Boli had his header saved at the goalline and then Mowafaq Awad's shot from close range was saved by Al Sailiya goalkeeper Claude Amine.

Around 40 minutes, Al Rayyan’s star recruit James Rodriguez sent in a feeble long-ranger that was easy for Amine to collect.

Soon after restart after a barren first half, Al Rayyan took the lead through Boli, whose header landed in the rival net.

Al Sailiya retorted, but Mustafa Mohammed mistimed his shot and the ball went out off a deflection in the 55th minute.

Meanwhile, Al Rayyan almost doubled the lead. However, Abdulaziz Hatem, after brilliantly evading an offside trap, had his volley crashing against the right upright, in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

From then on, Al Sailiya’s grip on the game gradually faded and Al Rayyan took advantage of the situation by scoring two goals inside three minutes.

First, Mowafaq came up with an opportunistic strike and then Colombian star Rodriguez struck his first goal in Qatar with an easy effort.

On 80 minutes, Boli sent his header narrowly over the bar.

Towards close, Al Sailiya reduced the margin twice, through Ramin, who was spot-on with a penalty kick, and then Ahmed Sebaie.
