UAE Pro League Wrap: Al Ahli stay top

Cosmin Olaroiu’s side remain unbeaten following their comfortable victory, which was secured as Chilean midfielder Luis Jimenez as Brazilian striker Ciel both found the net in the second half, before Helal Saeed was sent-off in the dying stages for the hosts.

Al Dhafra won their first game of the season as they edged a seven-goal thriller against Al Ain 4-3.

Michel Bastos had given the visitors to the Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan Stadium the lead in the early stages, however, two from Emmanuel Clottey and a strike from Makhete Diop turned the game in Al Dhafra's favour.

Doubles from midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada and Ali Ahmed Mabkhout made sure of the points for Al Wasl after Adeilson had opened the scoring for Al Shabab, who found a consolation through Hassan Ibrahim following Mabkhout’s late dismissal.

Second half goals from Fahad Hadeed, Andre Senghor and Maher Jassim won the game for Al Wasl, who had earlier seen Mariano Donda’s opener cancelled out by Mohamed Malalla Hassan
