Al Duhail goalkeeper Salah Zakaria expressed his happiness with the victory that the team succeeded in achieving this evening at the expense of Al Rayyan in Round 8 of the league. The player said in a statement after the end of the match: Thank Allah for the victory that we achieved over a great team that came with a great effort from everyone on the field and in the match. It was the peak of this round in everything, and despite being behind in the score in the first half, we succeeded in coming back in the second half and scored three goals that secured us points in the match.

Zakaria added: We entered the field with full concentration and created many opportunities. In return, Al Rayyan was able to benefit from the opportunities they had, but our offensive line was decisive in the second half and proved their strength, and this victory will give us an important boost before our confrontation with Al Nasr in the AFC Champions League.
