Al Khor welcomed the visitor Umm Salal to the Al Khor stadium for one of the final games of the season, and what a game it turned out to be.<br />
<br />
With 7 goals in total it was the highest goal scoring affair of round 26. <br />
<br />
Al Khor who has been tougher to beat in the second half of the season had a perfect start when ahead courtesy of a Julio Cesar penalty in the 35<sup>th</sup> minute.  <br />
<br />
The first half ended with al Khor one up and no indication of what was to come in the second half.<br />
<br />
After the restart Al Kho’s top scorer, Cesar was at it again when he scored another, giving his side a two goal cushion. <br />
<br />
However, Umm Salal playmaker Tuncay got one back for the visitors as they looked to salvage something from a game that looked to be slipping away from them.<br />
<br />
Then Marco Antonio Mianda Filho looked to have shut out the game with his goal in the 78<sup>th</sup> minute but there was still plenty more to come from Salal.<br />
<br />
Salal was now losing 3-1 and not even their couch could have hoped for what happened next.--<br />
New signing Jeremy Aliadière got one back to make it, 3-2 in the 81<sup>st</sup> minute. This saw the total capitulation of the home-side as they started to panic.<br />
<br />
In the 85<sup>th</sup> minute umm Salal equalised for the first time in the match with Mardanli effort. The Fortress could sense that it was now theirs for the taking.<br />
<br />
The winner came courtesy of the hardworking midfielder Tamer Jamal Othman in the 90<sup>th</sup> minute as Al Khor coach Lazlo Boloni couldn’t believe what was happening before his very eyes!<br />
<br />
Umm Salal had the mother of all comebacks and finished the season in 6<sup>th</sup> spot, one position better than last season.
