Rajabzadeh scores in his debut game for Al Dhafra

In another clash, Al Dhafra earned a valuable 3-1 away victory over Al Khaleej in Khor Fakkan.

Andre Dias, in his first game for Al Ain , made it 1-0 as early as the second minute of the first half, and UAE debutant Valdivia assisted with the second goal in the 45th minute to go into half-time on 2-0.

Moroccan-import Soufiane Alloudi increased the advantage to 3-0 from the spot 10 minutes after the re-start and Salem Abdullah netted the fourth with eight minutes to go.

Al Ahli coach Ivan Haesk said they played well in the second half and dominated the game, but our opponents tried hard to stop us after they led 2-1.

Faisal Khalil headed home the perfect cross from Cesar in the 28th minute, but Mohammed Omer retaliated with a double in the 31st and 41st minutes to put the home team ahead by the end of the first half.

“We made a very strong comeback in the second half and scored three goals despite the time freezing and pressure tactics by the Al Nasr players,” Haesk noted.

Cesar levelled the result in 71st minute and Al Hamadi netted the third goal two minutes later before Salem Khamis increased the advantage to 4-2 with a lovely move in injury time.

“I didn’t select any of the club’s players during the transfer period,” said Al Nasr’s Croatian coach Luca.

“I don’t know what was wrong with the team. I can’t understand the real cause behind the poor performance of my players,” he added.

Al Wasl’s midfielder Eisa Ali fired home a controversial goal in the 73rd minute to hand promoted Ajman an unfair 0-1 defeat.

Al Dhafra cruised to an easy 3-1 victory over hosts Al Khaleej.

Mohammed Salem Saleh put the visitors in the lead in the 15th minute of the first half and Abbas Lawal equalised for the home team in the 37th minute.

In the second half, Mehdi Rajab Zadah and Mohammed Salem Saleh scored in the 50th and 70th minutes to help their side claim full points.
