Belmadi's Al-Duhail Edge Al-Sadd in Qatar Stars League Thriller

Al-Duhail secured a 3-2 victory over Al-Sadd on Sunday, the sixth round of the Qatar Stars League, thanks to a dramatic 94th‑minute winner. The win lifted the team to 12 points, placing them fourth in the league after three wins and three draws from six matches.

Al-Duhail started strongly, taking a two‑goal lead before halftime, but Al‑Sadd fought back to level the score before the break, increasing pressure in the second half. Coach Djamel Belmadi responded with a series of substitutions and tactical tweaks, focusing on wider play and through balls to exploit gaps in the opposition defence, with striker Krzysztof Piatek becoming a key outlet.

The decisive moment arrived in added time when Mohammed Hassan found the net in the 94th minute, sealing three points for the Algerian‑led side. The goal sparked an emotional reaction from Belmadi, who left the bench to celebrate with his players, visibly moved and even shedding tears during the post‑match scene.

The result keeps Al‑Duhail unbeaten this season and signals a positive step for Belmadi’s squad in the race for the league's top positions, while Al‑Sadd, also on 12 points, have already suffered two defeats this campaign.
