El Jaish went back to the top of the Qatar Stars League table after beating second from bottom Al Sailiya in a ten goal thriller at the Hamad Bin Khalifa Stadium which finished 6-4 to The Soldiers.    
El Jaish now have 16  points from six matches, while Al Sadd, with 14 points, are second on goal difference ahead of Lekhwiya. Rayyan are fourth with 12.
The game started at an intense pace and with just ten minutes gone, both teams had found the back of the net thanks to some sloppy goalkeeping.
El Jaish took the lead after just five minutes thanks to a goal from striker Sardor Rashidov. Jaish’s lead didn’t last long though as the league strugglers Al Sailiya made it 1-1 thanks to a goal from Paul Efoulou on the ten minute mark.      
After Al Sailiya drew level, Jaish moved up a gear and took control of the game, scoring two goals in quick succession. Abdulkader Elyas found the net on the 20th minute and Jaish’s Brazilian goal machine, Romarinho, made it 3-1 after 22 minutes.  
Romarinho, who was hot off the heels of a hat-trick last weekend, then made it 4-1 with 37 minutes gone and took his tally to five goals in the last two games and eight goals this QSL campaign. The Brazilian, who is now the league’s leading goal scorer, struck a beautiful free-kick over Al Sailiya’s wall from 25 yards out which left the goalkeeper with no chance as it smashed into the top right corner of the goal.  
The first-half goals kept on coming for El Jaish and just before the halftime whistle, their new captain, Seydou Keita, struck The Soldiers’ fifth of the game after some beautiful build-up play on the edge of the box created space for him to drill a shot from 20 yards out and take what most would think would be an unassailable lead into the second half.
Al Sailiya’s second-half fightback started with goals on 46th and 53rd minutes when Sayaf al-Korbi hit the woodwork and Mohammed Mudather headed home from the rebound and Abdelraouf Hussein netted to make it 5-3 just two minutes later.
A penalty from Al Sailiya’s Paul Efoulou on the 65th minute then made it 5-4 and let Al Sailiya dream of a fairy-tale comeback. That wasn’t to be though, unfortunately, as Rashidov took the goal tally into double figures on the 77th minute and sealed all three points for El Jaish after running half the length of the pitch and finishing from 18 yards out.
