<p>Qatar SC blanked Al Arabi 3-0 in Week 7 of the 2020-21 season QNB Stars League at the Qatar SC Stadium on Thursday.</p><p>New recruit Youcef Belaili (38th-minute penalty and 87th-minute penalty) and Alejandro Jimena (90+5) scored the goals as Qatar SC took their points tally to nine, while Al Arabi stood on five points.</p><p>Qatar SC thus continued their good run, having beaten Al Wakrah in the last round. Incidentally, Belaili had netted the all-important goal in that match. In the process, The Kings had jumped from the bottom of the table to eighth position then.</p><p>On the other hand, Al Arabi’s woes compounded, having lost 1-4 to Al Sadd in the Qatar Derby in Week 6.</p><p>Both teams enjoyed equal ball possession.</p><p>Belaili and Anthony Okpotu were at the helm of Qatar SC’s offensives, the former playing a composed game and the latter impressing with his speed and power.</p><p>Okpotu came very close to scoring once, but for a goalline save by Al Arabi defender Marc Martinez even as goalkeeper Mahmoud Ibrahim had left his charge in pursuit of a rescue act.</p><p>Al Arabi mainly had Aron Gunnarsson’s aerial shot and Abdulaziz Al Ansari’s weak shot to show for their efforts in the first half.</p><p>The opening goal came when a penalty was awarded against Al Arabi’s Jassem Jaber’s foul on Belaili and the latter himself converted from the spot.</p><p>Changing ends, Qatar SC continued from where they left off. They went 2-0 up after Belaili was spot-on with a penalty, awarded after he was tripped by substitute Mohammed Bader Sayyar.</p><p>Jimena then headed in a corner kick deep into stoppage time to seal the issue in Qatar SC’s favour.</p>
