Rewritten Article:
Alright, let's chat about the thrilling UAE Pro League drama! Al-Ahli Dubai, under the guidance of Paulo Sousa, celebrated securing the title on Saturday, thanks to Al-Sharjah's 3-0 loss to Al-Wahda. With just four games left, they sealed the championship without setting foot on the field, following their first loss of the day against Al-Wasl.
The team's victory was secured by goals from Krupsky (28'), Jadson (34'), and a late strike from Diarra (87'). As we head into the penultimate round, Al-Ahli Dubai sits comfortably at the top with 56 points, boasting an impressive 11-point lead over Al-Sharjah and 15 points ahead of Al-Wahda.
Now, here's a fun fact: Al-Ahli Dubai, also known as Shabab Al Ahli, has managed to maintain their lead after Matchweek 22, although there's been some debate about their first loss mentioned earlier. While Sousa's team appears unchanged in the league rankings, details from recent match data are limited. For instance, on May 4, Ittihad Kalba defeated Dibba Al-Hisn 2-1, but this didn't impact the top positions.
Upcoming fixtures for May 4-5 feature Al Wahda versus Sharjah and Al Ain against Al Jazira, which could shake things up in the standings. So keep your eyes peeled, folks!
