Al Shamal took another battering today losing 5-1 to an unforgiving Al Arabi side in the Qatar Stars League.<br />
<br />
The loss saw the Musketeers concede 10 goals in just two matches as yet again their defense was porous and unorganized.<br />

<br />
Yet to win a single game this season it seems as though the Qatar Stars League is just one step too far for the team from the North.<br />
<br />
In the first half Paulinho opened the scoring just 8 minutes in for the Dream Team, followed by an opportunistic Ahmed Saleh (36’), giving his side an important two goal cushion going into the break.<br />
<br />
In the second half things went from bad to worse for Al Shamal as they continued to hemorrhage goals. <br />
<br />
First through Quinela (63’) and then just seven minutes later former Fulham star Dejagah had made it 4-0. By this point many inside the stadium were looking to the clock as they knew that there was still the threat of more goals and they were right when Khoukhi added a fifth to create a truly dominating performance of their opponents.<br />
<br />
Then Moumouni Degano finally registered a goal for Shamal (90’) but it was no consolation as the home side suffered yet another thrashing and confidence shattering game.<br />

The result see Arabi level on points with Sailiya but with a better goal difference whilst Shamal remain rooted to the foot of the table.
