Al-Jazira 3:0 Ajman: Pro League Match Result

Match report

Al-Jazira defeated Ajman 3-0 in the Pro-League's Regular Season round 3 on Friday evening. The hosts moved to the top of their group after three consecutive wins, while Ajman's record slipped to two victories from three matches. Igor Serrote opened the scoring just before the interval, and a second-half own goal from Yuri Matias alongside Bruno's late strike sealed the result for the home side.

Al-Jazira had a chance to extend their lead in the 24th minute when Willyan Rocha's effort was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. The hosts pressed forward and broke the deadlock at the 45-minute mark, with Igor Serrote finding the back of the net. Ajman's S. Gassama received a yellow card in the 29th minute as tension built before the break.

The second half saw Ajman dragged out of position. Yuri Matias turned the ball into his own goal in the 68th minute, putting the hosts two goals ahead. Bruno added a third in the 86th minute, and the match was effectively over. Al-Jazira made several substitutions in the closing stages, bringing on Vinicius Mello, Milson and M. Meloni among others.

The statistics tell the story of a one-sided contest. Al-Jazira created three big chances and registered five shots on target, while Ajman managed only one shot on target from five attempts. Both sides held 50% possession, but the hosts' expected goals of 1.33 to Ajman's 0.64 reflected the quality of their opportunities.

Al-Jazira now sit second in the table with nine points from three games, having won all their matches. Ajman remain in fifth place on six points after their first defeat of the season. The result extends Al-Jazira's winning run to three matches and cuts Ajman's unbeaten streak to two games.
