Adrian Șut, on his first success in the Emirates: the midfielder scored in the second half of a spectacular duel
Adrian Șut was transferred to Al Ain this winter and did not integrate very quickly into the Vladimir Ivic team. After not getting the score sheet in the previous duel, Șut started the duel with the last ranked team.
After an uneventful first half, Bani Yas opened the scoring in the 47th minute through Niakate. Al Ain equalized in the 54th minute after Laba scored from the penalty spot, and five minutes later it was Adrian Șut's turn.
The Romanian midfielder scored from the center of the box from Matias Palacios' pass. The Argentinian crossed to the edge of the grass from the right flank, and Adrian Șut put the cross on the ball and scored.
