Al Shahania took on Al Gharafa at home in the other early kick-off tonight as the Oryxes looked for their sixth win of the season.<br />
<br />
Al Gharafa who were in sixth spot before the game knew this was a must win if they held any hopes of finishing in the top four by the end of the season.<br />
<br />
It was the visitors Gharafa who took the lead when new Romanian forward Claudiu Keserü got on the score sheet in the 22<sup>nd</sup> minute, and that’s how it stayed until the half time whistle was blown.<br />
<br />
In the second half Keserü struck again this time assisted by teammate Christian Bolaños, the Romanian striking from just 5 yards out to give his side a two goal cushion (52’).<br />
<br />
However Shahania then mustered another comeback as they scored first through striker Luciano Vazquez (79’) and then Abdullah Khaled scored just one minute later courtesy of a sloppy goal keeping error.<br />
<br />
Gharafa managed to find their composure and ride out the Shahania storm as they then settled matter when Moayed Hassan scored with just 8 minutes of normal time remaining.<br />
<br />
Shahania deserved something from the game and will be heartbroken as they did well to keep pace with Al Gharafa.<br />
<br />
The cheetahs survived the late scare and now find themselves in 5<sup>th</sup> place with 33 points in the Qatar Stars League.
