Goal Blitz and Late Drama: Qatar Cup Day Two Delivers a Goal-Fest and Nail-Biting Late Goals

Day Two Highlights

The second day of the fifth round of the Qatar Cup produced a prolific showing, with 16 goals across four matches, underscoring the attack-minded nature of the teams and the competition’s appetite for decisive results.

The opener seemed to set the tone as Al-Shahania edged Al-Khor 3-2 in a thriller, with both teams crafting chances and escalating tension until the final whistle.

Next, Al-Shamal exploded onto the scene with a 5-0 victory over Al-Markhiya, led by a quick opener and a sequence of fast, decisive attacks. An own goal by an Al-Markhiya defender widened the gap before a late strike sealed the rout.

In the third duel, Al-Rayyan and Al-Wakrah shared the spoils in a dramatic 2-2 draw. Al-Wakrah surged ahead early, only for Rayyan to level through a composed brace by Weslei Ribeiro and a late equalizer, leaving both sides with a point in a tense finish.

The final match of the day finished 1-1 between Mesaimeer and Lusail, with Mesaimeer taking an early lead through ZouKh, and Lusail replying late through Tamim Al-Gabri to secure a share of the points.

Across the day, fans witnessed relentless pace, sharp finishing, and a reminder that in football, momentum can swing in the space of a single moment—and sometimes that moment comes in the 93rd minute, just when the coffee runs dry. Punchlines aside, the pitch was the real comedy stage, and the net got the better of the goalkeepers more than once.

Upcoming fixtures promise more excitement, with the schedule highlighting top clashes that could reshape the standings as the round progresses.
