Majed secures first win, UAE leads the standings

Majed achieved its first win after three consecutive losses. Based on the results of the fifth round, the UAE team maintained the top position with 12 points, followed by Dibba Al-Hisn with 9 points. We aim to continue enhancing the harmony among the team members, as this has a direct impact on the precise execution of technical plans, and we are confident that the level of play will gradually improve from round to round». After them are City and Masfout with five points each, followed by Majed with three points, and Al-Jazira Al-Hamra with two points, while Fujairah and Al-Urubah each have one point, and Ittihad is in the last position without any points. Walid Ubaid: Numerous positive gains for «Al-Isar» The head coach of the Hatta first team, Walid Ubaid, described the team's victory over the UAE as a very important victory filled with positive gains for his team, nicknamed «Al-Isar», especially as it was achieved against the league leader, at a time when the team desperately needed a morale boost to enhance its ambitions of continuing to compete for promotion to the Professional League. Ubaid said to «Emirates Today»: «The competition in the First Division requires achieving wins in tough and difficult matches, especially against teams that are vying for promotion, so that the team can proceed with stability in its competitive journey». Clubs Hatta, Al- Dhaid, and Majed achieved valuable wins in the fifth round of the First Division, which was held last Sunday and Monday, and the past round can be described as the most exciting and distinguished so far due to the surprising results and high technical performance, despite the absence of clubs United, Dibba Al-Hisn, Al-Hamria, Fujairah, and Ittihad due to their participation in the President's Cup Round of 16. The results of the fifth round showed a win for Hatta over the UAE (2-1), and Al-Dhaid over Al-Urubah (1-0), while Majed achieved its first win this season against Masfout (1-0). Meanwhile, City forced a draw (2-2) on Al-Arabi, while the match between Al-Jazira Al-Hamra and Gulf United ended in a draw (1-1). The round witnessed several prominent technical scenes, including the UAE team's first loss after four consecutive wins, while Al-Dhaid continued its brilliance to confirm it is the dark horse of the current season after its win over Al-Urubah, one of the main contenders for promotion, thus strengthening its previous win over Al-Arabi. I feel very happy because the players delivered a distinguished match, and the high technical performance came with the victory. Six teams share third place with 7 points: Al-Hamria, Gulf United, Al-Arabi, United, Hatta, and Al-Dhaid.
