Shabab Al Ahli Dubai U23 delivered an emphatic performance on the road, defeating Al-Nasr SC U23 2-0 at the Al-Nasr Stadium. The visitors controlled proceedings from start to finish and deservedly took all three points in a match that underlined their title ambitions in the UAE U23 League.

Clinical finish seals victory

Al-Nasr U23 attempted to respond but struggled to create meaningful opportunities against a well-organised defence. The visitors doubled their lead early in the second half with a classic counter-attack. A long ball over the top was chased down by the Shabab Al Ahli winger, who unselfishly squared the ball for a teammate to tap into an empty net.

The hosts had a brief spell of pressure after the hour mark, forcing a couple of saves from the Shabab Al Ahli goalkeeper, but they could not find a way back into the match. The visitors managed the game professionally in the closing stages, keeping possession and running down the clock.

The 2-0 victory strengthens Shabab Al Ahli Dubai U23's position near the top of the table, while Al-Nasr SC U23 will need to regroup quickly to avoid slipping further down the standings.
