  • Abdulrahman, 25, had been given special dispensation by Al Ain to turn out for the Saudi Professional League holders in the inaugural Qatar Airways Cup.

    The UAE superstar did not waste the opportunity, an impressive 30-minute cameo being topped off with an effortless conversion from 12 yards on 50 minutes.

    He was introduced just past the half-hour mark at Al Gharafa Stadium with his temporary teammates already 3-0 down courtesy of the hallowed ‘MSN’ trio of Argentina icon Lionel Messi, Uruguay predator Luis Suarez and Brazil entertainer Neymar’s goals.

    ‘Amoory’ was nutmegged by Barca mdifielder Rafinha soon after coming on, but his delightful through balls earned the penalty and saw Syria centre forward Omar Al Soma produce a glaring miss.
