<p class="rtejustify" dir="RTL"> </p><p>Al Kharaitiyat were able to secure their first points of the season with a 2-0 win over last season’s fourth-placed team Al Gharafa in Week 7 of the QNB Stars League on Friday.</p><p>The goals came either side of the break through Abdulhadi Amin in the 37th and 59th minutes.</p><p>With captain Wesley Schneider watching from the sidelines, it was imperative that the home side pressed on without him to end their barren run of late.</p><p>They nearly got off to the perfect start with Muad just unable to smother it over the line under pressure from Ahmed Sofyan in goal.</p><p>With the game quite an open affair, it looked like Al Gharafa will be the first to take advantage as Vladimir Weiss pulled the strings in the midfield.</p><p>However, a number of spurned chances allowed the visitors to capitalise. Not long before the break, Abdulhadi latched onto a through ball and his shot from the near post was misread by the goalkeeper who let it squirm underneath his body for the opener.</p><p>The confidence offered by the first goal sparked a surge in energy which made him a continual handful for the home defence.</p><p>Ten minutes into the second half, substitute goalkeeper Abdulaziz Ali was only able to parry a poor back pass into the path of Amin who again finished from a tight angle with great composure.</p><p>The two-goal advantage was enough to dominate their opponents for the rest of the match as they held on for a crucial victory and their first points of the season.</p>
