Doha giants and former QSL champions Al Sadd failed to spark on home soil at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium. Drawing 1-1 with Al Ahli. <br />
 <br />
Al Sadd, who had welcomed back Qatar's Olympic squad captain Abdelkareem Hassan, produced a cagey display in the round 17 clash.Even Barcelona star Xavi failed to lift the gloom at Al Sadd.<br />
 <br />
Al Ahli took the lead through Meshal Abdullah off a penalty kick in the 71st minute to compound the matters for Jesualdo Ferreira's side. Abdullah went for the left of Al Sadd goalkeeper to score the goal for the visitors.<br />
 <br />
Thankfully, a smartly-taken penalty  saw Al Sadd equalise in the tense clash in the 78th minute. Ali Asad slipped a neat ball past Al Ahli goalkeeper after a pass from the flank to ease up the worried look on coach Ferreira's face.<br />
 <br />
