Al Jazira’s goals were scored by Mohammed Rabie and Nabil Fakir, who scored two goals, in the 22nd, 33rd and 36th minutes of the match, so that “Pride of Abu Dhabi” returns to the path of victories after a draw and a loss in the last two rounds against Kalba and Shabab Al Ahli.
With this victory, Al Jazira raised its tally to 21 points in fifth place in the standings, while Ajman’s tally remained frozen at 13 points in ninth place.
The opening minutes of the match witnessed early attacking attempts by Al Jazira, with Vinicius Melo firing a powerful shot in the 10th minute, which was successfully saved by Ajman goalkeeper Ali Al Hosani.
Mohammed Rabie opened the scoring for Al Jazira in the 22nd minute, after he unleashed a powerful shot that settled into Ajman’s net, scoring the 200th goal in the ADNOC Pro League this season.
