Lekhwiya close the gap in Qatar
Second-placed Lekhwiya kept up the pressure on Qatari League leaders Al Sadd after a 2-1 win at Qatar SC.
Ali Afif put the visitors ahead in the 58th minute before late strikes by Bakari Kone for the home side and Sebastian Soria for Lekhwiya mean they are now just a point off top spot.
El Jaish are third after they 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.
