In that same year, Muaither became the first team in history from the second division to win the Sheikh Jassem Cup. They defeated Al Wakrah 2–1 in the final. “We’ve had faith all the way through the season. I think we can look back and see when we scored late goals and had that always go for the goal mentality. That helped us immensely and it’s testimony to the players and staff that everyone’s worked really well together. Said coach Mohammed Sahel. “After a slow start to the season, we never panicked. We stuck at our game and knew we were performing well. Every side has results which aren’t going to go their way but then we started winning games on regular basis which really propelled us to the top of the league.
