Ajman's situation worsened in the Arab Gulf Football League, by losing at home to Al Ain, with two unanswered goals, in the match that brought them together yesterday, for the 22nd round of the competition.
And the balance of Orange stuck at 11 points, to fall to the 13th place on the list of the general ranking of the competition table, three points behind Fujairah, who won over Al-Nasr.
The two goals of the match came through the young player, Mohamed Abbas (15), and Kodjo Laba (86), to raise the leader his score to the 37th point in sixth place.
Ajman was the most pressured in the first minutes, and he had the opportunity to score first through Hussein Abdul Rahman, had it not been for Muhannad Al-Anzi, who hit the ball and turned into a corner (5).
Ajman almost received a goal from a wrong exit from goalkeeper Ali Al Hosani, but he was fortunate enough that the ball hit the post (9), and the rudder turned after that in favor of Al Ain, who succeeded after several attempts to score by the young player Muhammad Abbas, taking advantage of the poor positioning of the defenders Ajman, and put the ball easily into the net.
Al-Ain continued its offensive rush, amid some shy attempts on the part of the landowners, which did not succeed, and the first half ended with the leader's progress.
Ajman players did not move in the second half in pursuit of a draw, and they continued their retreat in favor of Al Ain, who had another opportunity to enhance his progress from a fixed kick on the borders of the box, played by Brazilian Eric, but his ball slightly higher the crossbar (51).
Ajman rose up at the 69th minute, and had a verified opportunity to score from Hussein Abdul-Rahman's cross, which passed in front of Muhannad Al-Anzi to Maiga, completely alone in the goal, and Khaled Issa tackled it twice.
Laba fired a bullet of mercy at Ajman, scoring the second goal from a ground shot, which landed to the right of the goalkeeper.
