The only winning goal was scored by Fabio Lima in the 46th minute, allowing Al-Wasl to jump from seventh to fourth place temporarily with 27 points, while Al-Ain remained third with 29 points. The match lacked excitement for most of the first half, and there was no danger to either goal until the end of the first half, when Fabio Lima received a cross that put him face-to-face with goalkeeper Khalid Essa, who skillfully intervened to block the shot and keep the score at a goalless draw. At the beginning of the second half, Lima managed to open the scoring for Al-Wasl when he followed up on a cross from Alexis Perez, which he headed to the right of Khalid Essa. Al-Ain tried to equalize and had several clear chances to score, the most notable being a pass from Kaku that put Sofiane Rahimi face-to-face with the goal, but he shot past the post.
