Seven-time Qatar league champions Al Rayyan registered their second win in this year's Qatar league following their 2-1 win against Al Ahli in round five of the league on Friday.
Al Rayyan climbed to fifth with eight points, just two points behind leaders Al Sadd and Al Gharafa while Al Ahli suffered their third defeat this season and remained in ninth.
Al Rayyan opened the scoring after only 15 minutes when their Australian striker Daniel Allsopp scored with a pow! erful shot.
It was 2-0 on 34 minutes when Guinean midfielder Daniel Goma doubled the advantage for Al Rayyan after firing a shot from 35 yards out before Al Ahli pulled a goal back in the first minute of stoppage time through Brazilian Julio Cesar.
The other game on the night between Umm Salal and Al Arabi was postponed due to Umm Salal's commitments in the AFC Champions League semi-finals against Korean outfit Pohang Steelers.
The round will be concluded on Saturday when Al Wakra host Al Sadd while Qatar SC meet defending champions Al Gharafa.
