Did dominate, but got Wanderley’d. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the striker and move on. The slip up is just what Al Ahli might need to push them through. |

Their ability to give up a goal in the last 10 minutes has come back to haunt them and this happened at the 90+5 mark. |

Took a 90th min winner from Caio for to come on top in the Bur Dubai derby. Prior to that looked like their third draw in as many games against a Dubai based opponent. A win against a Dubai team deserves a move up. |

Al Wahda will be thanking sub – Saif Sultan Al Khabil for his sense of poisitioning to find the net in the 90th minute. The Maroon’s don’t have too much to hang their heads about. And they still look murderous on set pieces. |

At one point, seemed like Al Nasr will fire through taking advantage of the extra man. That was not the case. Consistency being the major issue for the side. |

Baniyas is grinding right now. They went 2-0-3 in their last five, and are flying under the radar – like they somehow always do. We all know they are not going to make it easy on the four above them. |

A team shrouded in mystery, thanks to the recent decisions made by top management. Top scorer – Jo did not fit the system, so he was sacked. And then they lose by 2. No relation at all. |

The thrill of the 6-3 win over Al Shaab blinded some folks to the fact that Fujairah are struggling a bit. They’re 1-3-1 in the last five, and handed over points to Baniyas. Good news is that Khaleil Khameis Salem is an Emirati talent in the making. |

Weren’t super impressive, but they did something most teams couldn’t manage to: beat Al Ain putting a stop on their 11 game winning streak in domestic games. Wanderley has been a godsend in recent games. |

At times they were agonizingly slow in transition and very difficult to figure out. But they did enough not only to get the three points but also move above relegation. |

A home point against Al Ahli is never a bad result, especially when they steal two points from under the noses. |

Dropping them seems reactionary, but that defense was a mess. The second Wahda goal – which could have been cut out at several spots – was particularly worrying. |

You probably know the ugly stats by now: 16-game winless skid in which they’ve taken just three points. The foreign contingent in the roster has endured nearly a complete refurbishment, and while that’s understandable, it means Zenga has a lot of work to do in trying to get these guys on the same page. |
