Al Jazira and Sharjah both maintained their perfect starts to the Adnoc Pro League season with victories over Al Ain and Ajman respectively.
In the Abu Dhabi derby, Al Jazira 10-man Al Ain 2-1 at the Mohamed bin Zayed Stadium and Sharjah rallied from a goal down to win 3-2 at Ajman.
Abdulla Ramadan put Jazira in front when he found the back of the net off a fine back-heel pass from Ali Mabkhout in the 19th minute.
Kodjo Laba, who was on target four times for Al Ain in their 7-0 thrashing of Al Dhafra last week, levelled the score when he headed home an Andriy Yarmolenko cross.
Mabkhout regained Jazira's lead seven minutes into the second half and then Al Ain suffered a setback when Bandar Al Ahbabi received a straight red card for a nasty tackle on Moroccan forward Ashraf Bencharki.
In Ajman, Francisco Alcacer's 72nd-minute winner saw Sharjah return with full points.
Ajman defender Soud Saeed's own goal gave last season’s runners up the lead on 35 minutes.
Firas ben Larbi and Prestige Mboungou were on target shortly after the break to put Ajman ahead.
Luan Pereira equalised for the visitors before Alcacer met Miralem Pjanic's cross from a corner with a powerful header into the back of the net for Sharjah to seal the game.
Elsewhere, Al Wasl were held to a 1-1 draw by Dibba at the Zabeel Stadium and Al Nasr were held to a scoreless draw at Khor Fakkan.

Another way to earn air miles
In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.
An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.
“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.
