FOOTBALL – Two-time defending champions Muharraq continued their resurgence in the 2026-27 Nasser bin Hamad Bahrain Premier Football League last night with a 4-0 rout of Sitra at Khalifa Sports City Stadium in Isa Town.
After an own goal by Abdulrahman Ali put Muharraq ahead in the 14th minute, three different players were then on target in the second half to complete their big win.
Soufiane Saeed Mahrouk made it 2-0 with a 50th minute with a short stab from the face of goal, and then Ahmed Alsherooqi fired in their third in the 66th minute from close range off a brilliant lobbed pass.
Abdulkarim Oumar Diarra then rounded off their victory in the third minute of second-half injury time on a quick counter-attack.
Muharraq secured their third win in seven tries and improved to 11 points in fourth place on the standings, while Sitra suffered their third defeat and remained on eight in mid-table.
Also last night at Al Ahli Club Stadium in Mahooz, A’ali and Hidd played to a goalless draw.
A’ali rose to eight points, just one ahead of Hidd in the bottom half of the 12-team rankings.
Last night’s matches wrapped up matchweek seven of league action.
