Al-Gharafa vs Al Wahda Data Center
"His Excellency Sheikh Jassim bin Thamer Al Thani, club president, welcomes the Spanish star from Real Madrid Dani Carvajal," announced Al-Gharafa on their social media. In one of their posts, you can actually see the Leganés full-back in a video greeting various dignitaries.
His presence certainly brought luck to the home side, who edged out a narrow win in a dramatic match. In less than 10 minutes, there were two red cards—one for each team (Dame Traoré and Mohamed Al Shamsi)—and Yacine Brahimi missed a penalty. Late in the game, defender Seydou Sano tipped the balance (1-0).
After a couple of matches without playing, Joselu came on in the second half and played just under half an hour, though he wasn’t as decisive as on other occasions. Still, the striker has scored seven goals in the 13 matches he’s played so far this season.
In the domestic league, the Doha side sits at the top of the table with 25 points, four ahead of second-placed Shamal. On the other hand, their QSL Cup campaign has been disastrous: they are bottom of the group, having collected just five points out of a possible 27 so far, while in the AFC Champions League they are ninth in the West—one spot away from advancing to the next round.
