<p>Hosts Al Arabi secured a crucial 3-0 victory over nine-man Al Khor in their QNB Stars League Week 11 match on Friday. Gaser Zakaria (33rd minute) and Khalfan Ibrahim (71st and 88th) scored the goals.</p><p>The game got off to a bad start for Al Khor as influential playmaker Soroush Hossein saw red after just three minutes following a crunching tackle on rival captain Ammar Jamal. In spite of this, Al Khor were brave throughout and could have taken the lead through a Madson free-kick that was well saved.</p><p>Moments later, Castan Silva’s powerful header, while under pressure, could not quite find the target. The deadlock was broken as Gaser reacted quickest to a corner and saw his header take a wicked deflection off Reza Najafi’s shoulder and into the net.</p><p>Shortly after the second half got under way, The Knights were reduced to nine men as Mehdi Ahmed picked up a second booking following a challenge on Khalfan, who would eventually kill the game off.</p><p>Midway through the session, Yousef Abdulsemea was brought down in the penalty area and Khalfan doubled the home side’s advantage with a coolly-struck shot down the middle of the goal.</p><p>Into the final minutes of the game, he tapped home the third for The Dream Team following a neatly-controlled pass from Ahmed Khalfan to record a much-needed victory.</p><p>The result left Al Arabi on nine points, one behind Al Khor.</p>
