Al Khor eased their relegation fears with a 1-0 win over bottom side Mesaimeer at the Qatar Stars League yesterday. Victory for the Knights sees them move on to 28 points – six clear of second-bottom Qatar Sports Club with three games to go.
For already-relegated Mesaimeer it was a 20th defeat of a miserable maiden season in the QSL. Rodion Gacanin’s men have taken just five points and scored only 14 goals this campaign. The only goal of the game came in added time at the end of the first half at Al Khor Stadium. Mesaimeer failed to clear a long throw and the ball found its way to Madson at the back post. The Brazilian flicked the ball across the goal-line and it ended up in the back of the net after Abdulaziz al-Sherif somehow hooked an attempted clearance past Mohammed Ghanem.
Meanwhile, Al Kharaitiyat earned what could prove to be a vital point in their fight for survival after coming from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw against Al Gharafa.
Yahia Kebe scored a 76th minute penalty for the Thunders to ensure a share of the spoils at Gharafa Stadium. The result keeps Kharaitiyat a point ahead of Qatar Sports Club, who yesterday drew 1-1 with Al Sailiya and currently occupy the second relegation spot.
