Football: Shabab Al-Ahli move to 4th in Arabian Gulf League after beating Sharjah 1-0

A first-half penalty from Carlos Eduardo proved to be the difference at Rashid Stadium as Shabab Al Ahli edged out Sharjah 1-0 in the highly anticipated matchweek 21 clash on Monday. The match remained goalless, with few chances created by both sides, until the home side were awarded a penalty kick in the 28th minute. Carlos Eduardo stepped up and converted from the spot, scoring what turned out to be the winning goal. Shabab Al Ahli came close to doubling their lead six minutes later, but Jaloliddin Masharipov's bicycle kick went over the bar. Sharjah were handed a golden chance to level the scoreline when they were awarded a penalty two minutes from time. However, Shabab Al Ahli keeper Majed Naser saved Coronado's effort to seal the win.
