Doha: Former champions Al Sadd launched the second phase of the Qatar Stars League (QSL) with a 5-1 demolition of bottom-placed Mesaimeer at Al Ahli Stadium yesterday.
Hamza Sanhaji (3), Mashaal Qassim (24), Luiz Guilherme Silva (41), Khalfan Ibrahim Khalfan (43) helped Al Sadd walk off the Al Ahli Stadium pitch with a 4-0 lead in the first half.
Key striker Kasola Mohammed (51) quickly added to that scoreline with a superbly taken snap-header as Al Sadd picked up three points from the round 14 clash and take their tally to 27.
For Mesaimeer there was a consolation strike when Erivelto Emiliano Silva (82) converted a late penalty in the one-side game.
Yesterday’s huge win was a welcome relief for coach Jesualdo Ferreira who saw his side blow hot and cold in round 12 and 13.
