Al Gharafa was looking to rebound with a win after losing to Al Sadd in the round before 3-2. In round 12 of the Qatar Stars League they played away to Kharaitiyat at the Al Khor stadium.

One goal in each half was enough to seal the victory for the Cheatahs in a game where they largely controlled possession and kept their opponents to just a few shots from distance.

The first goal came when the in-form Nene sent a through ball for Moayad Hassan Fedaily who sent a delicate chip over the keeper to put his side in the lead (39').

This time Moayad Hassan Fedaily turned provider as he tore down the right wing and picked out Huthaifa Yahya Al Salemi (62').

The result keeps Gharafa within the top 3 in the Qatar Stars League and consigns Kharaitiyat to 11th spot.
