Andre Ayew bags brace as Al Sadd win Qatar Stars League with four games to spare

Al Sadd have won the Qatar Stars League with four games to spare following a resounding victory over Al Ahli with Andre Ayew scoring a brace.

Andre Dede Ayew netted his 13th and 14th league goals as Al Sadd destroyed Al Ahli 8-2 on Monday to secure the title for a record-extending 16 times.

Algerian Baghdad Bounedjah and Spanish midfielder Santi Carzola were also among the goals for the away side who completely dominated 10-man Al Ahli as their defender Hossein Kanaani was sent off for a bad challenge in the 25th minute.

The league title becomes Ayew’s second silverware since moving to the club. The 32-year-old won his first trophy in October 2021 after a penalty shootout victory over Al-Rayyan in the Emir Cup final.

Ayew joined Al Sadd on a free transfer in July 2021 after leaving the English Championship side Swansea City.

The 32-year-old has now won eight trophies in his professional career.

His services will be required next month when Ghana face-off with West African rivals Nigeria for a place in the 2022 World Cup which will be staged in Qatar.
