Dubai: Al Noor Hospital played with a renewed confidence as they cruised to a 9-4 win against fellow strugglers Daman in the seventh week of the Abu Dhabi Football League (ADFL) last week.
Daman are winning the fairplay league though, as they remain the only side to yet pick up a booking.
At the other end of the table, Al Fuad maintained their 100 per cent record as they edged past Smart Solutions 2-1.
Both Falcons Academy sides enjoyed wins, with the A team beating MediaPro Hawks 4-1, while the B team put recent struggles behind them as they taught Abu Dhabi Thistle a footballing lesson with a 5-2 victory.
There was a second 5-2 win on the night, with Tche Tche dispatching FC Dubstars.
There was another relegation six-pointer between Rawdhat A and ADIB, where there was no shortage of controversy. Following the dismissal of the ADIB goalkeeper, the game ended at 3-3.
In Division Two, Man City are starting to feel the pressure. After starting the season like bulldozers, they have come unstuck recently, this time losing to promotion rivals Salim Saad 3-1.
ADIA top the league as they came through a tough match with EFF to win 3-2 with a late goal. That's five wins out of seven now for the team with the best disciplinary record in the division.
Shangri-la are level on points with ADIA but remain second on goal difference. They had to grind out a victory against Rawdhat B, coming out 3-2 winners.
