The UAE Football Association Tournaments committee have declared Al Ahli as 2-0 winners against Al Ain in their FA cup group B match. The decision was taken yesterday at the FA premises in Dubai.

Al Ain had won the match 3-0 on Thursday, but Al Ahli lodged a complaint against Al Ain for listing a player, Salim Ali, whose FA registration card was not renewed by his club.

The tournaments' committee hence decided to award the match to Al Ahli in accordance with the UAE FA tournaments' committee regulations, which stipulates in Article 98 that any club who play in an official match with a player who is not legally allowed to take part in the match, would be considered defeated 2-0.
