Doha, Qatar: Edmilson Junior fired a first-half brace as 10-man Al Duhail blanked A Wakrah 2-0 for their fourth consecutive Ooredoo Stars League (OSL) victory at Al Janoub Stadium yesterday.       

Al Ahli also maintained their fine start to the season edging Qatar SC 1-0 to stay second after taking their tally to 10 points – two points adrift of leaders Al Duhail.

Al Arabi’s quest for their first win in the new OSL season continued yesterday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Khor after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser.

Edmilson Junior, who made his Qatar debut against North Korea in World Cup Qualifiers last week, handed Al Duhail the lead in 13th minute with an unstoppable shot from outside the box after receiving a short pass from Ibrahima Diallo.
