Doha: Al Wasl scored two late goals to snatch a 2-1 victory over Al Gharafa in a gripping AFC Champions League Elite West Zone clash at Al Bayt Stadium yesterday.
Al Gharafa took the lead through Ferjani Sassi in the 44th minute, with Fabio Lima sparking Al Wasl’s comeback with a clinical spot kick in 84th minute.
Isaac Success then delivered the winning goal for the reigning UAE champions in the second minute of stoppage time.
Pedro Martins-coached Al Gharafa, guilty of missing several golden opportunities, remained on three points while the win lifted Al Wasl to six points.
“We couldn’t capitalise on several chances, and the penalty shifted the momentum in Al Wasl’s favour,” said Martins.
