<p>Al Duhail came from two goals down to record a 3-2 victory over Al Khor in Week 10 of the 2019-20 QNB Stars League at the Al Khor Stadium on Friday.</p><p>Abdulla Moraisi (17th minute) and Ahmed Hammoudan (29th minute) put Al Khor ahead, but Al Duhail replied through Mohammed Muntari’s brace (43rd and 57th-minute penalty) and Yousef Msakni (66th).</p><p>Any ideas of a walkover for the league leaders were quickly put to bed when Al Khor surprised them with an early goal on the counter-attack. Thiago Bezerra drifted past two markers down the right-hand side before laying off a perfect pass for Al Moraisi to excellently side-foot home from 10 yards out.</p><p>The lead was quickly doubled when Bezerra again chased down a long ball over the top before finding Hammoudan with a well-weighted pass across the box and the marksman calmly slotted past Amine Lecomte.</p><p>Hammoudan should have put his side three goals up, and finished the match, when he rounded the keeper shortly after, but Amine made a superb recovery to block the striker’s shot.</p><p>This proved to be a costly opportunity missed as Al Duhail were not to be denied for long and soon got on the scoresheet. Paulo Edmilson whipped in an out-swinging corner from the right and Muntari rose highest to power a header low into the corner of the goal to bring the scores level at the break.</p><p>Al Duhail were able to quickly get back on level terms when they were awarded a penalty for a handball early in the second half and Muntari stepped up to convert the spot kick.</p><p>The turnaround was completed in the 66th minute when Msakni was quickest to react to a ball in the box, skipped past his marker and fired a hard shot across the face of the goal and into the net to complete the scoring.</p>
