Mohamed Zidan made a cameo appearance for Bani Yas in a 3-1 league win over Al-Dhafra on Thursday. Jozef Chovanec's team hardly needed their star player, with Youssef Jaber, Mohamed Fawzi and Andre Senghor wrapping up an easy win. Zidan was introduced in the last eight minutes, only to receive a yellow card for a foul shortly after. The win lifted Bani Yas to joint-top with Al-Ain, who still have a game in hand. Shikabala's Al-Wasl host rock bottom Ittihad Kalbaa on Friday, in attempt to get their first win in six games.
