Former Melbourne Victory forward Danny Allsopp scored his first league goal for new club Al-Rayyan as they defeated Al-Ahli 2-1 in the Qatari Stars League overnight.The big striker has been in decent form since arriving in Qatar and scored twice in last week's 3-3 cup result with Al-Gharafa, but had previously failed to hit the back of the net in the more important Stars League.
But the Australian broke his duck in the 15th minute of the clash, before teammate Daniel Gouma doubled their advantage on 33 minutes with Julio Cesar getting a late consolation for the losers.
The win was an important result for Allsopp's side who ambitiously recruited Brazilian coach Marcos Paqueta from champions Al Gharafa in the close season.
The result moves Al-Rayyan up to fifth on the table with 8 points, two points behind joint leaders Al Sadd and Al Gharafa who play later in the weekend.
