Al Shahania and Umm Salal played out a 1-1 draw in the last of QNB Stars League Week 10 fixtures at the Al Arabi Stadium on Saturday.

Luciano Vazquez scored for Al Shahania in the 32nd minute, a lead that was neutralised by Umm Salal through Yannick Sagbo’s penalty conversion in the 72nd minute.

Umm Salal moved to 15 points and Al Shahania 11.

Both teams created chances right throughout in the fast-paced game.

Umm Salal’s Lawrence Quaye came up with a stunning free-kick in the 17th minute, which was palmed over by Al Shahania goalkeeper Khalifa Al Dossari.

Umm Salal had a slight edge in ball possession and Mahmoud Al Mawas then hit wide of the mark.

However, it was Al Shahania who took the lead past the half-hour mark. Luciano rose above the challenge of Mohammed Kassola to nod home a cross by Kesse Amangoua from the right. It was the Argentinian striker’s fourth goal in the campaign.

Al Shahania suffered a setback when Luciano received his marching orders from referee Mohammed Al Shammari for a lunging foul on Adil Rhaili inside the box and they had to play 20-odd minutes with a numerical disadvantage.

Ivorian striker Sagbo converted the resultant penalty to take his goals’ tally in this season’s QNB Stars League to seven goals.

The plot involving Lawrence and Khalifa got repeated at the other end in the 78th minute. This time, the goalkeeper just about managed to tip over a power-packed long-ranger.

The stalemate continued in the six-minute stoppage time too.
