Goals from Korean midfi elder Koh Myong-jin and a 16th goal of the season from Captain Ro- drego Tabata ensured all three points for the Lions. Al Rayyan opened the scoring within minutes of the restart of the second half. Korean International Koh Myong-jin capitalized on a host of defensive errors to slot into the bottom right hand corner of the goal. Umm Salal head coach was rightly annoyed with his side, who failed to clear the ball on three separate occasions before Koh burst through on goal. The game did threaten to boil over at times, and it was to the credit of referee Saoud al-Athba who marshaled the players well throughout the match. Al Rayyan started to dominate possession, and doubled their lead in controversial circum- stances. Captain Rodrigo was adjudged to be bundled over in the penalty area by defender Rami Fayez, and the referee pointed to the spot. Rayyan’s talismanic cap- tain stepped up to dispatch the ball past Baba Malick. Later, defending champions Lekhwiya needed a dramatic last minute winner from Ismael Mo- hammed to defeat Al Kharaitiyat 3-2 in a pulsating match at Al Lekhwiya and Kharaitiyat players vying for the ball during their Qatar Stars League match yesterday.
