Asamoah Gyan Strikes To Help Al Ain Move To Second
Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan opened the scoring from the spot as Al Ain beat Al Wasl 2-0 on Friday night to move to second place in the UAE Pro League.
The on-loan Sunderland player converted a penalty on 11 minutes which was earned by Ignacio Scocco, a summer import from Greece.
Gyan�s goal finished off the club coached by Maradona to make it his third goal in two matches.
Scocco then added one of his own with a smart snap volley, as Al Ain all but wrapped up this Pro League fixture within the first 32 minutes.
Last week, Gyan scored a double to aid his side earn a 2-2 at Baniyas.
Wasl, managed by legend Diego Maradona, was left fuming after the final whistle.
�When I went to the referee at the end of the first half, I wanted to give my opinion about a certain incident that had happened,� Maradona said.
�I was stopped from doing that, and was shoved to the side by the police and treated like I was an outsider. It was not right.
�Al Ain deserved to win. They were the better team, and that doesn�t bother me.
�What bothered me is the fact the officials want the limelight, as I have said before.�
