**Dominant Display Against Al Markhiya (Oct 27th):**
Star forward **Khalid Muftah** stole the show as Al Gharafa crushed Al Markhiya 5-0 in QNB Stars League action. The national team captain netted a stunning first-half hat-trick (goals in the 12th, 35th, and 40th minutes), completely dismantling the visitors’ defense. His clinical finishing and intelligent movement left defenders helpless. This treble took his season tally to seven goals – leading the Qatari top scorer charts outright. He later assisted Ammar Abdelrahman for their fifth, capping an individual masterclass that earned him Man of the Match awards across sports pages.
**Leadership Beyond Goals:**
Beyond scoring records, Muftah increasingly operates as Al Gharafa’s creative heartbeat. Coach Luis Martinez moved him into a deeper attacking midfield role against Al Shamal (Nov 3rd). Even without finding the net himself, his vision dictated rhythm: he provided *two precision assists* for Éder Militãoheaders and controlled possession under pressure during a hard-fought 2-1 win. Local pundit Talal Al Dosari noted post-match: "When Khalid drops deep like this, you see why he wears the captain’s armband – he makes everyone better."
**Setback & Resilience:**
Injury anxiety struck briefly during national duty when Muftah limped off early in Qatar’s World Cup qualifier vs Afghanistan (Nov 16th). Thankfully, scans revealed only minor muscle fatigue. He returned immediately available for club commitments, starting against Umm Salal (Nov 24th) and setting up both goals in a vital 2-0 derby victory. His rapid recovery underscored immense physical discipline ahead of December’s busy schedule.
Currently joint-top scorer in the league alongside Bassam Al Rawi (Al Arabi), Muftah’s form makes him impossible to ignore. With six assists too, he drives every significant threat for Martiinez’s high-flying squad. All eyes remain firmly fixed on "KM10" as he targets breaking his personal best of 18 league goals set back in 2021–22.
