Al Rayyan moved up to fourth in the Qatar League after recovering from a two-goal deficit to defeat Qatar SC 4-2 in a round 25 match.

The hosts opened the scoring after only four minutes through Oman striker Imad Ali, who then doubled the lead in the 21st minute.

However, Ali's compatriot Ahmed Mubarak pulled a goal back for Al Rayyan in the 39th minute before Poland skipper Jacek Bak levelled the score in the 76th minute with a powerful header.

Two minutes later, Portuguese striker Joao Tomas gave visitors the lead with another header, before sealing the win with a penalty five minutes from time, with Qatar SC reduced to 10 men as Khaled Salem collected a second yellow.

In Sunday's other match, Al Ahli defeated Al Arabi 1-0 but remained bottom of the table with 25 points.
