The league leaders had dropped two points in their fi rst game since resump- tion of the league last week, when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Umm Salal. But yesterday, Duhail were back in business as goals from Mohamed Muntari (fourth minute) and substitute Paulo Edmilson (80th minute) ensured they stayed on course for the title. With three matches remaining, the Red Knights need to win two to clinch the title. One of those matches is against defending champions Al Sadd. Rayyan’s draw against Al Arabi on Sat- urday could prove costly for the Lions. Al Gharafa, who had beaten Al Arabi 1-0 last week, could not repeat that performance and had to play second fi ddle to Al Duhail, who had more of the ball. The Cheetahs remained on 31 points, but retained their fourth posi- tion in standings. Defender Sultan al-Breik had a role in Al Duhail’s both goals as he provided the assists with measured crosses from the left.
