As you can tell from the results above, Al Ain was very dominant against Al Jazira, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Canedo and Laba (4) providing the goals. Laba certainly enjoyed Ain's last game versus Al Jazira, appearing multiple times in the match report with four goals and the 5-0 victory.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Al Dhafra.
