Yacine Brahimi’s stunning performance leads Al-Gharafa to a memorable victory

Yacine Brahimi continues to dazzle in the Qatar Stars League, guiding Al-Gharafa to a thrilling 3-1 win over Al-Duhail, managed by his former national coach Djamel Belmadi.

The Algerian captain delivered two pinpoint assists from set pieces, bringing his season total to seven, making him the league’s top playmaker so far.

Reflecting on his role, Brahimi said, “I try to take every chance to help my team, whether it’s through decisive passes or just controlling the midfield.” His masterful corner set up Seydou Sano for the first goal, while his second-half delivery found Joselu, sealing victory for Al-Gharafa. Throughout the match, Brahimi’s vision and calmness in possession uplifted his squad and thwarted Al-Duhail’s hopes.

Thanks to Brahimi’s command, Al-Gharafa now sits at the top of the table with 19 points. At 35, Brahimi keeps showing he’s an artist with the ball, able to shift matches with a single moment of brilliance. With seven assists and three goals in eight games, his legend as one of Algeria’s football greats grows ever stronger.
