Farhad Majidi grabbed a first-half double as Al Gharafa came from behind to beat Al Wakra 2-1 in the Qatari League.

Younis Mahmood fired visiting Al Wakra into a sixth-minute lead but Majidi levelled three minutes later before adding his second after 24 minutes.

The win lifts Al Gharafa into sixth place, now just one place and one point behind Al Wakra.
