Al-Sailiya claimed a narrow 1-0 home victory over Al-Gharafa in a tightly contested Qatar Stars League fixture also played on February 5, 2026, with a 22:45 start. The solitary goal, scored just after the hour mark, was enough to separate the two sides in a match defined by defensive organization and a single moment of quality. The first half was a cagey affair with few chances, as both teams seemed wary of making a mistake. The breakthrough came in the 62nd minute when an Al-Sailiya midfielder unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box that flew into the top corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance. Al-Gharafa pushed for an equalizer but found it difficult to break down a resolute Al-Sailiya defense, which held firm to secure the three points. This result boosted Al-Sailiya's hopes of a top-half finish in the league table, while it was a setback for Al-Gharafa's aspirations for a continental spot. The Al-Sailiya coach praised his team's discipline, and the Al-Gharafa manager rued his side's lack of creativity in the final third.
