Rayyan Thrash Sailiya 4-0 Nadal donates 1 million euros to Mallorca flood victims The incidents claimed 13 lives in October in the town that neighbours Nadal’s home of FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2018 Manacor. Rayyan thrash Sailiya 4-0 Rodrigo Tabata nets double as The Lions post fourth victory in QSL Cup; Al Sadd score late to hold Al Khor; Ahli stroll past Shahania IKOLI VICTOR DOHA RODRIGO Tabata ripped Al Sailiya apart with a brace and one assist as Al Rayyan won 4-0 at the Grand Hamad on Thursday to move two points clear at the top of Group B. Earlier, an impressive Al Ahli defeated Al Shahania 2-0 with the goals from Ali Fary- doon and Mohammed Raed Yassin. The Brigadiers now have 10 points. Al Sadd and Al Khor played out an entertain- ing 2-2 draw game that leaves the latter second in the group, four points ahead of the Wolves in fourth place. Tabata hit a double and brilliantly set up goal for Mo- hammed Jumaa as Al Rayyan waltzed to their fourth victory in the group. The skillful Taba- ta broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute with a trademark free kick from 25 yards to beat goalkeeper Abdelrahman Aziz. A minute into the second half, the former Qatari international star netted his second when Lucca Borges provided him a through and he lobbed the ball above Abdelrahman. Tabata is the leading scorer in the com- petition with six goals from four matches. Tabata assisted Jumaa’s goal with a square ball in a crowded box for the defender to tap from a close range in the 67th minute. Abdulrahman al Harazi completed the rout with a well- taken strike in the 75th minute.
