Al-Gharafa 1-2 Al Duhail: Soumare's 63rd-minute winner puts the visitors back on top
Al-Gharafa 1-2 Al Duhail in Week 9 of the Qatar Stars League 2026-27: who scored and when, the cards, both line-ups and the coaches, from the league's official match sheet.
Al Duhail came from a goal down to beat Al Gharafa 2-1 at Thani Bin Jassim on Saturday, and Boubakary Soumare decided it in the 63rd minute. Florinel Coman had given the home side the lead before Krzysztof Piatek drew the visitors level ahead of the break. Once Soumare had put Djamel Belmadi's team in front, they kept the lead to the end.
The first booking came early, when AlMoez Ali Abdulla, the Al Duhail captain, was shown a yellow card in the eighth minute. Coman scored for Al Gharafa in the 23rd minute and Piatek equalised in the 39th, so the sides went in at 1-1. Sekou Oumar Yansane was booked in the 54th minute, nine minutes before Soumare scored. The cards then came in quick succession: Jean Castelletto in the 68th minute, followed by Dami Terawari of Al Gharafa and Bassam Husham Alrawi of Al Duhail in the 69th.
The win takes Al Duhail to 21 points and back to the top of the table, for the time being at least. Al Gharafa, coached by Pedro Martins, remain on nine points.
