Al-Sailiya edged out Qatar SC 2-1 in a closely fought Qatar Stars League match on January 18, 2026, with a 00:30 kick-off. The home side came from behind to claim all three points, with the winning goal arriving in the final ten minutes of a competitive encounter. Qatar SC took the lead midway through the first half with a powerful header from a corner, but Al-Sailiya responded strongly and leveled the score just before halftime from a direct free-kick. The second half was a cagey affair, with the match winner coming from a defensive error by Qatar SC, which was pounced upon by an Al-Sailiya forward who slotted home. The result moved Al-Sailiya into the top half of the league table, while Qatar SC's inconsistent run of form persisted. The Al-Sailiya manager praised his team's fighting spirit, and the Qatar SC coach pointed to individual mistakes as the difference. Both teams fielded attacking lineups, leading to an end-to-end match with chances at both ends.
