Shabab Al Ahli held, Al Wasl thrash Al Jazira

DUBAI: Shabab Al Ahli and Al Ain shared the spoils after playing out a goalless draw at Rashid Stadium on Monday.

- 

The Dubai-based side failed to maintain their winning run as they dropped a crucial two points in the title race at home.

Meanwhile, Al Ain failed to pull off their first win since matchweek 16, especially on February 13 when they defeated Kalba 3-1 at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.

It was a tight match at Rashid Stadium, where Al Ain dominated big parts of the game and missed several chances to halt Shabab Al Ahli's winning run.

Al Ain posed their first real threat after four minutes when Matias Palacio pounced on a misplaced pass from Bogdan Planic, but his finish was blocked by tonight's hero goalkeeper Hamad Almeqbaali.

Another goal scoring chance was missed after just ten minutes when Laba Kodjo was teed up inside the box, but he squandered the chance bizarrely.
