Doha: Al-Wakrah has surged to the top of the Olympic League table following the conclusion of an eventful Matchweek 4. The southerners capitalized on a series of surprising stumbles by their direct rivals, securing a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Al-Sadd. The week's results were defined by a scarcity of wins, with the six matches yielding only three victories and three draws, yet their impact on the standings was profound.
The most emphatic result of the round was Al-Ahli's stunning 6-0 demolition of Al-Rayyan, a performance that propelled them into fourth place. Other key fixtures saw Qatar SC edge out Al-Shahaniya 2-1, while Al-Shamal and Al-Gharafa played to a 1-1 draw—a result mirrored in the clash between Umm Salal and Al-Sailiya. The match between Al-Duhail and Al-Arabi ended in a goalless stalemate.
With the weekend's action complete, the league table has taken a new shape. Al-Wakrah now sits in first place with 10 points. Al-Shamal holds onto second with 8 points, while Al-Rayyan, despite their heavy loss, remains third with 7. A fierce four-way battle for fourth is brewing, with Al-Ahli, Umm Salal, Al-Gharafa, and Al-Duhail all locked on 6 points.
