Rayyan clearly improved after the restart, beating Saliya 2-0, losing unfairly 1-2 to champions Al Sadd and, in the last, pinching a draw (2-2) from good Gharfa. Samal played just one game losing 0-2 to leaders Duhail, so we don't have a good enough sample to draw conclusions from, but we can't expect much from a mediocre team anyway. The weight of the jersey and the need for grades show us twofold.
