Abu Dhabi The week that was:

  • Super-sub: Mohammad Nasser of Al Ain was introduced after the break when his team was trailing 1-0 against Ajman. He scored two goals and created one to help his team win 4-1.
  • Breaking a long fast: Al Wasl came from behind to beat Al Ahli 2-1. It was the first victory for the team led by Diego Maradona in 50 days.
  • Wrong decision: Referee Mohammad Abdul Karim gave Uzbek midfielder Haidarov of Al Shabab a yellow card against Al Nasr for a foul against Diane, which was committed by Adel Abdullah. Abdullah went to the referee and corrected the error.
  • Revenge: Modibo Diarra, the new striker of Emirates settled an old score with his former club Al Wahda. He created the first goal before scoring an own goal but had the last laugh when he equalised in the last minutes to earn his team their first ever away point in 11 matches.
  • Banner: "We don't wasn't Cristiano, we have Bresciano" was a banner hoisted by the fans of Al Nasr club referring to their Australian midfielder Mark Bresciano.
  • Goal: Edinho's goal against Bani Yas from about 30 yards.
