Umm Salal claimed their first win in the Qatar Stars Cup as they edged Group A opponents Al Arabi 1-0 in the first round.

Saud Ghanim scored the winning goal after 74 minutes, just moments before Umm Salal Dutch midfielder Mario Melchiot was sent off.

Elsewhere Al Khraitiat shared a scoreless draw with Al Rayyan in Group B of the competition.

The round will be concluded tomorrow as Qatar SC meet Al Siliya while Al Sadd take on Al Wakra.
