Emmanuel Emenike Scored Twice As Al Ain Clinch Dubai Super Cup

Super Eagles forward, Emmanuel Emenike fired home two goals in his side's 4-2 victory over AL Nasir to clinch the 2015 United Arab Emirate Super Cup at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium on Saturday.

The Nigerian international joined the Dubai giants this summer on loan from Fenerbache to find form and more playing time.

The 2013 African Cup of Nations highest goal scorer scored his first in the third minute of the game which announced his arrival to UAE football.

His two goals was an indication that Asamoah Gyan would be perfectly replaced after the Ghana international moved to Shanghai Club SIPG.

A sloppy defensive clearance allowed Ahmad Ebrahim Alyassi to slip in a cross from the right flank and local boy Maroof, who joined Al Nasr last winter from Emirates Club, blasted the goal in from close range.

That effort saw Al Ain coach Dalic immediately replace Dutch winger Ryan Babel with attacking midfielder Mohammad AbdulRahman.

That moved payed off in the 67th minute, as Bastos played a one-two with Mohammad Abdul Rahman before slipping a measured through pass for Mohammad Fayez, who scored with a flick.

Pumped up by that goal, Al Ain widened the lead to 3-1 through Emenike after a goalmouth scramble.

Thereafter, Al Ain were all over Al Nasr and in the 79th minute Esmail Ahmad came up with a powerful header off an Omar Abdul Rehman corner to put things beyond doubt.

Al Nasr salvaged some pride at the end with an injury time goal by Omar. Gulfnews
