Sassi arrived late in the box to meet a low cross from Ahmed Al-Ganehi, smashing it home and sparking celebrations from the yellow-clad fans.<\/p>\n<p>It was a familiar sight this season. Sassi had also scored the winner against UAE\u2019s Shabab Al-Ahli to book a place in the AFC Champions League Elite, and was on the scoresheet in a 2\u20131 league win over Al Rayyan in August.<\/p>\n<p>Al Gharafa doubled their lead soon after. Joselu, the former Real Madrid forward, powered in a header but paused his celebration, unsure if the ball had stayed in play. Once the goal stood, he lifted his arms in triumph, and the <em>Gharfawis<\/em> erupted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joselu initially held his celebrations off but went all in after the goal was given. (Photo\/ Al Gharafa SC) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As in many of their matches this season, though, the job wasn\u2019t finished. Al Gharafa\u2019s attacking strength has often masked defensive frailties, and the first warning came minutes after the second goal when Andre Amaro\u2019s header from a corner clipped the post.<\/p>\n<p>Al Rayyan, who had stunned Al Duhail with a comeback from 2\u20130 down in the semi-final, were far from done. Early in the second half, Khalifa N\u2019Diaye fouled Amaro in a clumsy clearance attempt, and Guedes stepped up to fire in from the spot. N\u2019Diaye guessed right but couldn\u2019t stop the shot.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum shifted. Rodrigo Moreno hit the post at the other end, Amro Surag missed narrowly, and Joselu had another header cleared off the line.<\/p>\n<p>Then came a major blow for Gharafa, as defender Seydou Sano was shown red for a late challenge on Guedes, leaving his side with ten men and over 27 minutes to play.<\/p>\n<p>Al Rayyan pushed hard for an equaliser. Hatem Shehata struck the woodwork again, and several half-chances followed, but the finishing touch never came.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<\/figure>\n<p>It was a familiar story. Despite a squad stacked with attacking talent, Al Rayyan lacked the edge when it mattered. Manager Artur Jorge, brought in from Brazil\u2019s Botafogo to build cohesion, has made progress, but Saturday showed the project remains unfinished.<\/p>\n<p>For Al Gharafa, the nervy final minutes gave way to relief and celebration. When it counted, Martin\u2019s side stood firm. Captain Sassi and playmaker Yacine Brahimi lifted the trophy from Sheikh Tamim himself, marking the club\u2019s long-awaited return to the top of Qatari football.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from content and romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this &#8220;This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
