Al Ahli striker Meshal Abdulla has been announced as the QSL player of the month for March. The player is set to receive the award on Wednesday evening at Al Ahli’s training ground.   
The Qatari international has been on fine scoring form this month, scoring crucial goals against Umm Salal & local rivals Al Arabi helping the brigadiers pull away from the QSL relegation zone. His record of four goals in three QSL games has helped him pick up the coveted trophy.

Statistics from Prozone, The QSL’s statistical partner show how Meshal lead the way in the month of March. Firstly the striker sprinted more than many of his peers, on average he clocked up 458m of sprinting per match, significantly higher than the QSL average of 329m for a striker.

Meshal is troublesome with the ball at his feet and can danger any defense in the QSL on his day. No wonder then that the veteran attacker drew the most fowls from his opponent in March, being on the receiving end of 2.3 tackles, significantly higher than the average of 2.21 from his peers.  
Meshal scored some crucial goals in February, his hard running and eye for goal was typified with his brace in the 4-2 victory over Umm Salal. His goals effectively assured Ahli of all three points against a spirited Umm Salal outfit. The result gave his side daylight from the QSL relegation zone

It’s unsurprising then that the Al Ahli man excelled at goals in the penalty area. In March he averaged an impressive 1.3 goals per game from inside the box, significantly higher than the QSL average of 0.4 shots from his peers. Importantly most of his efforts found their target, with 1.7 of his shots hitting their mark again much higher than the average tally of 0.98 for QSL strikers.

So from sprinting, plenty of shots and crucially plenty of goals Meshall has fired his side to safety, and himself to glory  as he claim his first ever QSL player of the month award.
