<p>The Week 13 action in the QNB Stars League saw many exciting battles and interesting results, with Al Sadd beating Al Arabi 3-0 in the Qatar Derby and Al Sailiya pulling off a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Al Gharafa being the highlights.</p><p>A total of 11 goals were scored compared to 21 in the previous round.</p><p>Al Duhail kept their eight-point lead on top of the table after beating Al Khor 1-0. In the process, The Red Knights remained as the only unbeaten side in the 12-team competition with their 11th win that took their points tally to 34.</p><p>Moroccan striker Yousef El Arabi scored Al Duhail’s only goal to stay as the second-highest top-scorer with 15 goals, six less than Al Sadd’s Algerian striker Baghdad Bounedjah who netted a brace for Al Sadd and continued to top the scorers’ chart.</p><p>Qatar international Hassan Al Haydous scored the other goal for The Wolves, who have 26 points with two games in hand.</p><p>Meanwhile, Al Sailiya kept pace with Al Sadd as The Peregrines remained third in the standings with 25 points. Substitute Mohammed Mudather’s stunning header deep into second-half injury time sealed them the victory over Al Gharafa, with Meshaal Al Shammari being the other scorer.</p><p>It was Al Sailiya’s eighth victory. Vladimir Weiss found the goal for Al Gharafa who stayed sixth with 18 points.</p><p>Al Rayyan were drawn by 1-1 by Umm Salal, yet they stayed in the fourth place with 23 points.</p><p>Luca Borges equalised for Al Rayyan after Mahmoud Al Mawas had scored for Umm Salal, who remained seventh with 16 points.</p><p>Al Ahli’s (22 points) fifth position did not change as they got the better of Qatar SC 1-0, with Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong producing the winner.</p><p>Thus, the first seven positions remained unchanged. In fact, the only change in the league table was the swapping of ranks by Al Arabi and Al Shahania.</p><p>Al Arabi (15 points) slipped from eighth to ninth following their loss to Al Sadd. The Dream Team put up a much-improved show than they did against Al Sadd in the first leg of QNB Stars League, but could not just succeed.</p><p>Al Shahania, who beat Al Kharaitiyat 1-0, rose to the eighth place with 15 points on better goal difference than Al Arabi after they both were tied on points.</p><p>Qatar SC, Al Khor and Al Kharaitiyat stood as the 10th, 11th and 12-placed team with 11, eight and three points respectively.</p>
