Before the end of the events of the first half, Luka Milivojevic was able to regain the lead for Shabab Al-Ahly after a ball that went over Moanes Dabour’s head and followed it into the Al-Jazira net.

For its part, Ajman was able to achieve its second successive victory at the expense of Khor Fakkan, with two unanswered goals, in the match that brought them together at Khor Fakkan Stadium.
