DOHA: Al Sadd defeated Al Khor in a pre-season friendly 2-1 recently at the wolves’ training pitches.
The match was split into three 30 minute periods and it was the visitors who took the lead courtesy of a spot kick scored by William on the tenth minute.
Al Sadd equalised quickly, coming back with a goal of their own on the 25th minute.
The winning goal for the wolves came in the third period on the 70th minute as Salah placed the ball calmly into the back of the net.
Al Sadd is playing a series of three friendly games; having previously beaten Al Wakrah by the same margin and will now play their third match against Al Kharaitiyat next Sunday before they head overseas for their training camp in Europe.
