  • Al Fuad Sports Club registered their third consecutive win after they hit eight past Mubadala in Group 2 of the Abu Dhabi Football League (ADFL) at Zayed Sports City.

    Strikers Fahad Al Harthi, Mohammed Habush and Sanad Amer all found the net twice as Al Fuad Sports Club closed the gap on leaders Zayed Sports City to one point.

    Elsewhere, Zayed Sports City and Victory registered wins, while Falcons Academy were held to a draw, and they look destined to advance to the play-off stage and be in contention to win the Dh80,000 prize money on offer.

    Four early goals from Bogdan Sendroiu wasn’t enough to grab all three points for Falcons Academy, as Al Ittihad struck back with a hattrick from Abdul Rahman Al Ghafri and goals from Mohammed AlKatheri and Saled Mohammad in a 5-5 thriller.

    Elsewhere, Victory edged past ADIB 4-3, while Shamar beat Abu Dhabi Graduates 3-2 to keep their play-off dreams alive.

    In Group 1, Emirates ID went level on points with leaders Diplomatic and Governmental after defeating D.Feras 4-3, who couldn’t hold on to their two-goal advantage.

    Third-placed USF shared the points in a 1-1 draw against Sultan Arif Khoury, who are sitting in fourth position, while Kobetas drew 2-2 with MoneyMakers.
