Overnight Al Ain claimed their third UFL Super Cup in what turned out to be an entertaining night for all involved… except the Al Ahli fans I’m assuming.
The match was a little scrappy throughout and wasn’t as fluid as something you’d see in Europe or *cough*Australia*cough* and players were dropping like soldiers at Normandy, but overall I was surprisingly impressed.
The stadium and facilities were first class; the VIP seats, leather; the nibblies and drinks at half time, special. Even the atmosphere was pretty intense and the 17,000 strong crowd were treated to some cracking goals too.

I don’t know if this is what all matches are like throughout the league… I have a sneaking suspicion they might not be; regardless, I’m still looking forward to following the progress of the teams involved, which means you’ll be able to too right here on this site! Go teams!

Match highlights:

I’m about as excited as a ferret on Red Bull at the moment and no I didn’t just win a game of Connect Four… tonight I get to experience my first match in the UAE. It’s the UFL Super Cup between Al Ahli, the defending UFL champions and Al Ain, the holders of the President’s Cup at the Sports City cricket ground in Dubai… and I’m going VIP baby! We’re talking box seats, valet parking and little prawn sandwiches of course… don’t hold back ladies, you know you want me!

Given that I know nothing about either of the teams (or the league for that matter), I’m simply going to close my eyes and slam my keyboard with my palms and the first numbers drawn count as tonights scores!… dacazcf2zbxxbapj’;'asdouvab3398y-9rez084xddo8im67 … cool!

I predict:
Al Ahli 2 v 3 Al Ain

And there you have it folks, another quality prediction by yours truly!
If you’re off to the match, enjoy… if you’re not, chances are you might not ever hear anything mentioned about it except for right here
