Al-Gharafa claimed a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Qatar SC in the Qatar Stars League on November 8, 2025. The win was crucial for Al-Gharafa's positioning in the upper half of the league table. Al-Gharafa started strongly, taking the lead with a well-crafted team goal in the opening twenty minutes. They doubled their advantage early in the second half from a set-piece, seemingly putting the game to bed. Qatar SC showed great character to pull a goal back and set up a tense finale, but Al-Gharafa managed the remaining minutes effectively to secure the three points in a match that was closer than the scoreline initially suggested.
