Doha, Qatar: Defending champions Al Sadd are eyeing a strong comeback after a surprise 3-2 defeat to Qatar SC in their Qatar Stars League (QSL) opener, while Al Duhail are also seeking improvement following a 1-1 draw with Al Shahania on Saturday.
Both title contenders endured a shaky start to their campaigns, with hot favourites Al Sadd stunned by a side that finished 10th last season.
At Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, Qatar SC took the lead through Ali Saoud before Guilherme Torres pulled Al Sadd level. But goals from Said Mohammed and Joao Pedro gave the visitors a 3-1 cushion. Claudinho pulled one back late, but Felix Sanchez’s side couldn’t find the equaliser.
“We tried hard but were unsuccessful,” said Al Sadd’s Moustafa Tarek Mashal.
“This is just the beginning. We will make up for it in the upcoming matches. There’s no specific reason for the loss. Qatar SC had a strong start, and we must now focus on what’s ahead.”
