Al Gharafa downs Umm Salal

9 April 2012-PA Sport

Umm Salal's bid to escape the relegation play-off places in the Qatari League suffered a blow as it slumped to a 2-1 home defeat to Al Gharafa while rival Al Khrityat picked up a point at champion Lekhwiya.

Al Gharafa took the spoils with goals from Farhad Majidi (17) and Diego Tardelli (81) either side of an an equaliser from Magno Alves (27) as second-bottom Umm Salal slumped to a third successive loss.

That result allowed third-bottom Al Khrityat to open up a two-point gap over Umm Salal and the relegation play-off zone heading into the final round of matches after it held Lekhwiya 1-1.

Jaycee John put Al Khrityat ahead in the 39th minute before two-time reigning champion Lekhwiya levelled things up six minutes into the second half.

In the day's other match, second-placed Al Jeish beat Al Arabi 1-0 thanks to a 57th-minute goal from Adriano.
