The change of coach was good for Umm Salal, with (former Aris player) Talal El Karkouri, making two wins (with Al Khor and Saliya) and a normal defeat by Duhail. Tomorrow, Karkouri is set to face Qatar SK, the jersey he wore for four consecutive years. "Obviously it is a special match, but that does not change my desire to win as we chase fourth place" (provided that 4th place qualifies for the Champions League).
Qatar, which is looking for points for its stay, has a completely different goal, currently having a five-point cushion. Looking at the score, our first thought goes to the "convenient draw", but if we take a look at the remaining games we will find that both have a very difficult schedule. Even zero is very likely, so if they want to have peace of mind, they will have to look for the three-pointer tomorrow.
I will go to the ace as the match news is not good for Karkouri who loses due to cards three of his best players and in particular the useful Ismail Moussa, the captain Zawand, and especially the multi-tool Adil Riley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SDEHTi4R_4)
