Al Wasl seal ADNOC Pro League title

WAM

Al Wasl were crowned Champions of the UAE ADNOC Pro League on Sunday, completing a domestic double.

Al Wasl secured their eighth UAE Pro League crown with a 3-0 victory over title rivals Shabab Al Ahli at Zabeel Stadium.

The win gave Milos Milojevic's side a nine-point advantage over Shabab Al Ahli in second place with two matches remaining.

Swiss striker Haris Seferovic gave Al Wasl the lead three minutes into the second half before Fabio Lima and Adama Diallo scored in the 58th and seven minutes into stoppage time.

It was Al Wasl's first league triumph since 2007 and equalled Shabab Al Ahli's eight titles behind Al Ain on 14.

Al Wasl's league success sealed a domestic double after they lifted the UAE President's Cup earlier this month.
