Second-placed Lekhwiya kept up the pressure on Qatari League leader Al Sadd after a 2-1 win at Qatar SC.

Ali Afif put the visitor ahead in the 58th minute before late strikes by Bakari Kone for the home side and Sebastian Soria for Lekhwiya mean it is now just a point off top spot.

El Jaish is third after it beat Al Arabi 1-0 thanks to Maher Yousef's strike after the half-hour mark.

Goals from Said Boutahar and Ismail Mahmoud put Umm Salal two goals up against Al Siliyya, who scored a late consolation through Marcelo Tavares.
