Al Duhail beat Qatar SC 4-1 in Week 12 of the 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League at the Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium of Al Duhail club on Sunday.

Homam Al Ameen (11th and 37th minutes) and Almoez Ali (90th and 90+3 minutes) each netted a brace as Al Duhail extended their points tally to 28 points, while Qatar SC, who got their consolation goal in six minutes of added time through Yousef Mohammed Ali, remained on 10 points.

League leaders Al Duhail continued from where they stopped before the month-long break with their impressive attacking play right from the blast of the opening whistle, and they could have grabbed the opener within the fifth minute if not for Homam’s left-footed shot from 25 yards out going a bit higher than expected.

The Qatari left-back, however, atoned for the earlier miss six minutes later as he took advantage of a quickly taken free-kick by Luis Alberto to put The Red Knights ahead.

Qatar SC’s Ben Malango had a great opportunity to restore parity in the 24th minute after Eisa Ahmed had put him through with a cross following a set piece situation, but his header from very close range went high and wide to the right.

While Qatar SC’s search for an equaliser went unyielding, Homam added his second of the night in the 37th minute, firing home a right-footed shot from the left side of the box after a well-timed overlap to locate a sublime pass from Alberto to ensure that the coach Christophe Galtier’s team went into the half-time break with a comfortable lead.

The Kings continued in their search to at least reduce the deficit in the second half and their prayers were almost answered in the 60th minute if not for Al Duhail goalkeeper Salah Zakaria’s quick thinking to save a goal-bound right-footed shot from Jassim Al Jalabi from the right side of the box.

Qatar SC seemed to have put one back in the 76th minute through Ben Malango who poked home a right-footed shot from the centre of the box, but the goal was, however, cancelled, after a lengthy VAR check, due to an offside decision on the Congolese striker.

Almoez made it 3-0 for Al Duhail on the stroke of regulation time from an assist by Edmilson Junior before adding another two minutes later, shooting into an empty net following a diagonal pass by Homam that beat onrushing goalkeeper Motasem Al Bustami.

With Al Duhail seemingly heading home with four unreplied goals in their kitty, Qatar SC finally got their consolation goal, albeit late, as Almoez hit the bull’s eye in six minutes of added time to give Qatar SC some form of consolation.
