Champions Al Jazira suffered a second defeat in three Arabian Gulf League games after falling to 10-man Al Nasr on Saturday night.
After last week’s shock defeat to Dibba, the champions were humbled at home 4-2 by the Dubai club.
Nasr’s Brazilian forward Wanderley struck twice with compatriot Marcelo and Rashid Omar also on target. Ali Mabkhout and Fares Juma scored for Jazira.
The visitors went into the break leading 3-2 but a man down on the pitch after Fawaz Awana was sent off for a second bookable offence just before the half-hour.
Jazira also finished the match without their full quota of players with Eissa Al Otaiba was sent off for a second booking in injury time.
Marcelo gave Nasr the lead after just three minutes. Mabkhout levelled for Jazira nine minutes later and then went ahead through Juma’s header.

The lead didn’t last long as Wanderley found the net two minutes later and regained the lead for his side after Awana’s dismissal.
Henk ten Cate, the Jazira manager, made a double substitution in the second half.
He replaced marquee signing Lassana Diarra and Khalfan Mubarak with Al Otaiba and Uzbekistan international Sardor Rashidov, but neither made much impact before Rashid Omar tapped in a cross from Wanderley nine minutes after the break.
Jazira made several raids at the visitor’s goal but Ahmed Shambih stood firm to preserve Nasr’s two-goal cushion.
Elsewhere, Caio Canedo and Fabio de Lima struck in the final nine minutes for Al Wasl to return with a 2-1 result against Sharjah.
Sharjah responded with a goal from Vander Vieira in added time but the visitors saw off the remaining period to take their tally to seven points from three games and move up to second in the table.
In the other early game, Brazilian forward Ciel was on target twice from the penalty spot to lead Dibba to a 2-0 victory over Ajman at Fujairah Stadium.
Mohammed Yaqoob conceded the first penalty for handling the ball and Ciel made it two from two when Rashid Malallah brought down substitute Ahmed Ibrahim in added time.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
- Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
- Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
- Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
- Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
- Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
- Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
- Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
- Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
- Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
