Doha: El Jaish picked up their third win in a row to keep pace with Qatar Stars League leaders Al Sadd as Razvan Lucescu’s side handed Kharitiyath a 2-1 defeat on Friday evening.
Brazilian duo Adriano and Wagner Ribeiro struck to hand all three points to El Jaish as they prepare for their AFC Champions League Group A encounter with Al Jazira from the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.
Adriano gave El Jaish the lead three minutes before half time and Wagner Ribeiro doubled his side’s advantage on the hour mark, rendering Mohammad Abdulraab’s 70th minute strike as little more than a consolation effort for Kharitiyath.
El Jaish are reeling at the second from bottom in Group A with a single point from two matches played so far in the AFC Champions League 2013. They host neighbouring Al Jazira of the UAE on Tuesday.
