DOHA: Al Sadd came from two goals down to defeat Al Sailiya 3-2 and move to second on the Qatar Stars League table. Hassan Al Haidous (45th), Baghdad Bounedjgah (49th) and Morteza Pouraliganji (70th) scored for the winners after Faouzi Ayesh twice converted from the spot (28th, 44th) to give Sailiya a surprise two-goal cushion.

Lekhwiya, placed fourth, have 41 points from 24 games.
