Bani Yas edged out Al Nasr 3-2 at home in the Arabian Gulf League (AGL) to reclaim the second spot in the league table on Friday.
It was an even start to the match with both teams giving their all to dominate possession in midfield. Goal scoring opportunities were scarce as the game lacked creative imagination in the attacking third.
At the stroke of half-time, Mehdi Abeid opened the scoring for Al Nasr and went into the tunnel with their noses in front. However, the hosts levelled in the 58th minute when Joao Pedro scored the equaliser.
