Al Duhail football team head coach, Christophe Galtier, affirmed the importance of today’s victory over Al Arabi in Round 10 of the Ooredoo Stars League with five clean goals.

In statements to the club official website after the match, Galtier expressed his satisfaction with this win, saying: Our start was strong in today’s match versus Al Arabi. As I mentioned before the match, the games following the international break for national teams are difficult, but the players delivered a very good performance throughout the match.

Galtier added: There was some relaxation at the beginning of the second half and we could have done better, but despite that, we achieved a big win with five goals against a strong team. It is a very important victory that increased the gap between us and the runners-up and third-placed team.

Galtier continued: Our team has one more match before the end of the first leg of the season. We have 15 days and we must prepare well for this match to reach the best end to the first leg of the season.

Galtier concluded: I would like to commend the performance of Humam Al Amin, who delivered an enthusiastic and energetic performance, in addition to Benjamin Bourigeaud, who was decisive tonight and delivered a good performance.
