Al Wakrah took on Al Sailiya for a bottom of the table clash in round 23 of the Qatar Stars League. The visitors - Sailiya travelled down to Al Wakrah’s Saoud Abdulrahman stadium but the home side who were in the relegation zone were not going to give up without a fight as they looked to secure another year in the QSL.<br />
<br />
The first goal of the night was a long time coming, in the 42^nd minute a cross from the left found Saez, the Argentine striker sent a overhead kick to teammate Waleed Hamza who tapped in from close range.<br />
<br />
Then in the 46^th minute of the first half Wakrah doubled their lead with a wonderful individual effort by Ahmed Fadel Hasaba that started on the edge of the box.<br />
<br />
And that’s how it ended as both teams went into the tunnel at half time.<br />
<br />
Just three minutes into the second half and Al Wakrah carried on where they had left off. Saez was at it again as he went on a counter attack through the middle. He laid off a pass to Mohsine Moutaouali who sent a low cross from the right to Waleed Hamzah, the striker grabbing his second goal of the night.<br />
<br />
From then on the momentum swung in Sailiya’s direction as they pressured to get their first goal of the game. It came in the 57^th minute courtesy of a great solo effort from Ilunga Diba. The forward cut in from the right and hit a beautiful curling effort with his left foot past keeper Hassan Idriss Dicko.<br />
<br />
Diba’s second goal came from a terrible pass from Hasaba who gave it straight to the opposition. Majid Abdulla Siddiq sent a ball over the top, Diba managed to get between defence and keeper as he steered a looping header into the empty goal.<br />
<br />
Wakrah were starting to show signs of cracking as they continued to lose the balls in dangerous areas.<br />
<br />
Eventually the referee blew the whistle for full time as Wakrah took all three points and moved out of the relegation zone once more.
