Football : Shabab Al-Ahli beat Al-Wahda 3-1 after extra time to lift Arabian Gulf Cup

Jaime Ayovi grabbed the glory for Shabab Al Ahli as his extra-time strikes secured the Arabian Gulf Cup for the Dubai club with a 3-1 victory over Abu Dhabi's Al Wahda at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain on Friday. Henrique Luvannor opened the scoring for Shabab with a simple tap-in five minutes before half-time but Sebastian Tagliabue levelled the scores with a long-distance strike just before the break. In extra-time, Ayovi proved to be the difference as he put Shabab ahead for the second time in the game four minutes in. The Ecuadorian forward made it 3-1 with his second of the night after 106 minutes following some great play by Ismail-Al-Hammadi down the left. Al Wahda were then reduced to 10 men six minutes from time as Leonardo de Souza was sent off after being shown a second yellow card.
