Gulf News - Al Shabab struggling at the foot of the table held Al Wahda who was leading the standing to a goalless draw in the First division league match held at the Maktoum bin Rashid stadium at the Al Shabab club in Dubai yesterday.

The goalless draw lifted Al Shabab a step forward, they have 17 points and have to work hard in the coming three matches to secure a place in the First division.

Al Wahda slipped from the top place which they were sitting on in the last weeks, they are now second with 38 points, one point adrift of leaders Al Ain who clinched the top place after beating Al Shaab yesterday and it will be difficult to throw them off the top place with three matches remaining for each team.

In the second match played at Al Maktoum stadium, Al Nasr played a goalless draw with Al Wasl in a tough match in which two players were sent off, Walid Murad of Al Nasr and Mohammed Khamis of Al Wasl.

Al Nasr supporters were not satisfied with the referee for his sending off to Walid because they think the Al Wasl defender Humaid Yousuf falling on the ground catching his face as if Walid elbowed him was a fake action to convince the referee to send Walid off, they shouted against him after the match dissatisfied with his decision.

Al Nasr have now 30 points in the fourth place while Al Wasl have 21 points in the seventh place.

In the third match, Al Dhafra defeated Sharjah at the latter' s stadium. Dain Fain scored the all important goal for Dhafra who are still at the bottom with 14 points.
