Ajman came from behind to defeat Al Nasr 2-1 at Al Maktoum Stadium, moving up to nine points after four rounds in the UAE Pro League. The result shakes up the mid-table and shows Ajman are ready to compete with established teams.

Ajman left Dubai with all three points after coming from behind to beat Al Nasr 2-1 at Al Maktoum Stadium. The win moves Ajman into the top half of the UAE Pro League table and keeps them close to the early leaders.

Al Nasr took the lead in the 26th minute through Ajdin Hrustic, putting the home side in control. Ajman struggled to create chances in the first half, with Al Nasr's defense holding firm and blocking most attacks before the break.

Ajman have now scored in every league match this season, showing a consistent attack that keeps them close to the league's top teams.

The match changed after halftime. Walid Azaro equalized for Ajman in the 65th minute, giving the visitors a lift. Eight minutes later, Saad Al Hedani took advantage of a defensive mistake to put Ajman ahead.

With this win, Ajman reach nine points from four matches and move up to sixth place. Al Nasr stay on four points and drop to eighth after two straight losses.

Ajman's comeback away from home, especially against a club with Al Nasr's history, is a sign of their growing confidence and discipline. The league has already seen several surprises this season, including changes in management and unexpected results.

According to official UAE Pro League statistics, Ajman have improved their defensive record compared to the same stage last season, conceding fewer goals and showing greater resilience in away fixtures. This defensive solidity has been a key factor in their rise up the table and has drawn praise from league analysts for the team's tactical discipline.

Ajman will try to build on this momentum in the next round. Al Nasr, meanwhile, need to address their defensive problems and find a way to close out matches. Ajman's win in Dubai is a reminder that they are no longer just mid-table outsiders. Their comeback shows they are ready to challenge teams that might have overlooked them before.
