Al Shaab's errors hand Al Ain victory in President's Cup

Al Shaab paid dearly for individual mistakes as they lost the President's Cup final 2-3 against Al Ain in a festival held yesterday at Zayed Sports City with the theme "For the Love of Zayed" with Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, representing President His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, patron of the event.

Al Shaab took the lead twice following outstanding performances from their Dutch midfielder Gert Brusselers and his professional colleague Sheikh Dayob, from Senegal, as they combined together to score twice for Al Shaab, but an grave error led to Saeed Yousuf scoring an own goal to level the scores at 1-1 then Rashid Al Dossary failed to finish from a clear position only for Al Ain to equalise through Joel Tiehi in a fast counter-attack and Jumaa Mousa sealed the result for Al Ain in the second minute of the injury time as Adil Anas, the Al Shaab's custodian failed to clear.
