Burqan moved up to sixth in Division 1 after beating Sport 4:2 on Wednesday evening. The result came in the 21st round of the regular season, played at Sport's ground. By then both sides had completed 21 matches across the campaign.
Sport sit eighth on six points from two wins and nineteen defeats. Burqan sit above them on twenty-three points, with five wins and eight draws. The gap between them has now widened to seventeen points.
Neither side has been consistent this term. Sport's recent form shows a 4:3 victory followed by three straight losses, including a 5:0 defeat. Burqan have been more steady — two draws in their last five, mixed with a 4:1 win and a 1:3 loss.
The result means Burqan hold firm in the upper reaches of the table while Sport remain rooted in the lower half. With twenty rounds still to play, the points difference suggests very different trajectories for both clubs.
