Jacinto Dala scored twice late on as Al Wakrah came from behind to beat Al Gharafa 3-2 at Khalifa International Stadium. The Angolan forward equalised in the 78th minute and won it at 90+3, after his side had been a goal down for most of the second half.

Ferjani Sassi put Al Gharafa in front in the 48th minute, and they held that lead until Dala's first goal.
This was Al Wakrah's first win of the league season, and it takes them to five points. Al Gharafa, who looked set to take all three points for much of the second half, stay on four.
