أول انتصار لبني ياس في الدوري.. بـ«الأربعة» على الشارقة
Bani Yas finally broke their losing streak in spectacular fashion, crushing Sharjah 4-1 on Friday to claim their first victory of the ADNOC Pro League season. The win lifts them off the bottom of the table and gives the struggling club something to build on after seven disappointing rounds.
The match turned into a goal fest for Bani Yas, with Cameroonian striker Lionel Djoufouo leading the charge. He scored twice in the first half, finding the net in the 3rd and 37th minutes to set the tone early. Nigerian winger Sefor Goodwin added a third from the penalty spot on the hour mark, before French midfielder Youssef Niakate completed the rout with 12 minutes left on the clock.
Sharjah managed just one consolation goal through Brazilian Igor Cornado, who converted a penalty in the 86th minute. But by then, the damage was already done.
This was easily Bani Yas's best performance of the season. They moved up from last place to 12th position with four points from one win, one draw, and six losses. For a team that had been struggling to find any rhythm, this dominant display will come as a huge relief to players and fans alike.
Sharjah, meanwhile, suffered their heaviest defeat of the campaign. They remain stuck in 11th place with seven points from two wins, one draw, and five losses. The loss will sting particularly because they were playing at home and had chances to make the scoreline more respectable.
The result shows just how unpredictable the league can be. Bani Yas had looked completely out of their depth in previous matches, but football has a way of surprising everyone. One good performance can change everything, and this victory might just be the turning point they desperately needed.
