Al Sadd welcomed Al Wakrah to the Jassim Bin Hamad stadium on Sunday and won 4-1 in an opening and enthralling contest. The first half was a tight affair with the Wolves having to wait until the 31st minute to break the deadlock. In the second as Wakrah chased the game Sadd finished them off with three further goals. Al Haydous and Xavi were once more the stand out players for Sadd.

However it was Wakrah that had the first real chance of the game. For all of Sadd’s possession Wakrah had the more dangerous chances as they broke on the counter attack. Al Khil should have done better for the Blues when his volley lacked accuracy from close range (12’).

The first goal of the night came after a scheduled water break for the players, it seemed however that after the restart the Blues had switched off and from the corner Muriqui stole away to the back post, his header however struck the bar and rebounded in fortuitously off teammate AbdulKarim (31’).

Sadd got into their groove and looked dangerous with every attack. But despite Khalfan and Belhadj going close Wakrah managed to get to half time only one goal down.
In the second half the game opened up as both sides tried to break quickly when the chance arose.

The second goal came as Xavi spun his man in the centre of the park, the Spaniard was fouled in the process but the referee played the advantage. Muriqui saw the run of Belhadj down the left and set him free with a great forward pass, the on-rushing Wakrah keeper came out of his box but Belhadj simply rounded him and slotted home Sadd’s second of the night (60’).

At this point Wakrah’s defensive instincts left them completely as they pushed more players forward. The gaps that were left by Wakrah were clinically exploited as Muriqui then got on the score sheet with his shot hitting the upright and bouncing in (68’).

Wakrah finally got a penalty on the 82nd minute when substitute Maher was brought down by Abdulkarim; Sabastian Saez stepped up, sent the keeper the wrong way and scored.

However Al Sadd quickly replied with yet another goal as Ali Sadd weaved through the Blue’s defence before unleashing a snap shot, keeper Enyas saved it but could do little as Muriqui pounced for his second of the night from close range (85’).
