which Al Gharafas arrowhead in attack Brahimi wasted no time in converting with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner in the 44th minute.

Yohan Boli scored his fourth goal of the season to restore parity for Al Gharafa in the 50th minute with a bouncing shot in the 18-yard box that deceived Al Rayyan goalkeeper Fahad Younes, as the ball seemed to be heading over the bar before somehow heading into the top right-hand corner, following an assist from Boulaya.

Brahimi got Al Gharafa ahead with his second of the night in the 61st minute after coolly finishing an overlapping run inside Al Rayyans 18-yard box from a well-timed pass by Ferjani Sassi to make it 3-2 for The Cheetahs.

Al Rayyans efforts for equaliser were rewarded in the 86th minute when Tabata wriggled his way away from Al Gharafas defence following a one-two pass between him and Moreno to poke in the ball past goalkeper Ababacar for the equaliser to the relief of their vociferous fans.

Boulaya scored the winner in stoppage time following a fast break that saw him outpace the Al Rayyan defence to fire home a shot that went between the legs of the goalkeeper.

Three minutes later, Moreno found the net with a fine header for what could have been Al Rayyans equaliser, following a throw-in, but after a VAR check, the goal was overturned and Al Gharafa ran away with the victory on the night.
