In the same season Lekhwiya won the league title for the second time in a row.[5] To continue his dominance in the Qatar Stars League for two more times, in the middle of it a championship for Al Sadd in the 2012–13 season, surpassing him.

In the 2014–15 season, the two clubs dominated all the local championships, where Lekhwiya won the Qatar Stars League and Crown Prince Cup, while Al Sadd won Emir of Qatar Cup and the Sheikh Jassim Cup. In the Champions League the two clubs’ journey was wonderful, as the two teams clashed in the Round of 16. Where is this considered the first time that two Qatari clubs met in Champions League that ended with Lekhwiya 4–3 on aggregate to end his career in the quarter-final against Al-Hilal.[6][7]
