Al Arabi produced a dominant display to overcome Al Sadd by a 5-0 margin during Round 10 of the 2025–2026 QSL Cup, with the match played at Al Khor Stadium on Monday.
The home side wasted no time asserting control, breaking the deadlock inside four minutes through Karl Toko Ekambi.
That early breakthrough immediately shifted momentum and placed Al Sadd under sustained pressure for much of the opening period.
Al Arabi’s intensity and movement made it difficult for their opponents to settle or reorganise defensively.
The advantage quickly grew as Gerard Hernandez found the net in the 19th minute, doubling the lead before the midway point of the half.
Only four minutes later, Salem Reda added a third goal, further underlining Al Arabi’s superiority.
Mohammed Khalid Gouda then struck in the 34th minute, ensuring a commanding cushion by the interval.
By the time the teams headed into the dressing rooms, the contest had effectively been decided.
After the restart, Al Arabi reduced their attacking tempo, managing the game rather than pressing relentlessly.
Despite the slower pace, they still maintained control and limited Al Sadd’s chances.
Joao Pedro Daros eventually added a fifth goal in the 75th minute, sealing a comprehensive outcome.
The result leaves Al Arabi concluding the standings with 19 points, while Al Sadd remains near the bottom on five.
