<p>Al Khor earned a dramatic late victory over Al Sailiya to win an active encounter 2-1 in Week 19 of the QNB Stars League at the Al Ahli Stadium on Friday.</p><p>Temurkhuja Abdukholiqov got the game’s opener for The Peregrines in the 60th minute, while Al Khor’s goals came from Madson and Helal Mohamed in the 63rd and 84th minute respectively.</p><p>The game had started positively, with Wagner Ribeiro trying his luck with a 25-yard drive, only to see it drift wide.</p><p>Al Khor then replied with a glorious chance in which they could have taken the lead, but Soroush Hossein’s perfect free-kick was headed over by Ariel Ngueukam. Moments later, Al Sailiya spurned an opportunity as Mostafa headed straight at the goalkeeper when on goal.</p><p>The deadlock was broken in the second half after Abdulkareem Al Ali was fouled in the area by Abdelaziz Mitwali. Abdukholiqov stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.</p><p>Within 90 seconds, Al Khor were back on level terms through a penalty as Madson, with his stuttering run-up, was able to deceive the goalkeeper and plant the ball to the goalkeeper’s right. </p><p>As the game drew to a close, Dragos Grigore mistimed his backpass which substitute Helal intercepted before intelligently lifting the ball over the head of the stranded goalkeeper.</p><p>To make matters worse, Al Sailiya had to finish the game with 10 men after Al Ali was given his second yellow card and sent to the stands.</p><p>The victory will be of great relief to Al Khor as they now seek to distance themselves from the relegation zone. They have 18 points.</p>
