Doha: Sekou Yansane scored the winner as Al Ahli edged Al Gharafa 1-0 while Al Khor and Al Shahania played out a goalless draw at the Ooredoo Stars League (OSL) yesterday.

Yansane drilled the ball on top of the net from near the penalty spot after a brilliant through pass from Julian Draxler as Al Ahli claimed their first three points of the season at the Al Thumama Stadium.

The 16th minute hit from the French forward proved decisive as Al Gharafa failed to find an equaliser, having their second-half goal disallowed by the referee.

The Brigadiers moved to second place with four points as Al Duhail took early lead on the points table with two straight wins. Al Gharafa found them slipping to 11th place just above Qatar SC after the defeat.
