Al Sadd are unstoppable this season. ‘The Wolves’ are not just defeating their opponents - they are thrashing them, and yesterday it was another ruthless display of attacking football.
On their home turf, Xavi Hernandez-coached side crushed Al Khor 7-0 to continue their goal-fest that has seen them scoring 60 goals from 15 matches at an average of 4 goals per match. The closest side to reigning Amir Cup champions in terms of scoring are QSL champions Al Duhail, who have netted 37 times from 15 games.
