Al Wakrah goes up against Al Kharitiyat in round two of the QSL this Saturday at Al Wakrah Stadium. Both teams are reeling of losses in their opening game of the season and will be eager to amends.

Al Wakrah fought a close a match against El Jaish but ended up losing 2-1. They will try to fix their mistakes and show a stronger performance in their second match.

Mauricio Larriera, the head coach of Al Wakrah wants his team to learn from mistakes made in the last game, “We lost but we did well. There are some things we need to concentrate on but we know that El Jaish are a very competitive team who are one of the best in the league.”

“Kharitiyat is a competitive team and unfortunately they lost towards the end of the game. They lost against one of the biggest team in the league in Al Sadd. We don’t know how they are preparing for us but we saw that that they tried against Al Sadd but couldn't succeed,” added the Uruguayan head coach at a press conference on Thursday.

“Ahmed Fadal is one of the most important players he knows what the coach wants and what he can do to help. Last season he played a lot with the national team and I wanted to play him in the team. This season he started on the bench but that doesn't mean he will play or not play I have to wait for the  right time to play him,” added Larriera when asked about his young Qatari midfielder.



Kharitiyat had a disappointing outing against Al Sadd as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat. They need to get their mojo back and they will have an opportunity to do so against Al Wakra.

Amar Osim, the head coach of Kharitiyat, said that they need to bounce back from their defeat, “We have to prepare because we lost 4-0 and it’s not easy for the players to digest this. We shouldn’t think too much about this defeat and we have to learn from this game.”

“Al Wakrah is a good team and strong. They changed couple of players and I expect a tough game against them,” added the Bosnian tactician.
