Shabab Al Ahli celebrates UAE Pro League title with 1-0 win over Ajman

Shabab Al Ahli celebrated its ADNOC UAE Pro League triumph with a 1-0 victory over over Ajman at Rashid Stadium on Saturday, thanks to a 49th minute goal from Igor Jesus.

The champion team did not take its foot off the gas, with Igor Jesus Da Cruz hammering the hosts into a 49th-minute lead with a first-time low shot that went past keeper Ali Al Hosani.

Eight minutes after the hour-mark, Ajman's defender Mohamed Sayed brought Harib Abdalla Suhail down inside the box, prompting referee Suhail Abdulla Ali to point to the spot.

The referee cancelled the penalty after consulting the VAR.
