Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan scored a hat-trick to breath life into Al Ain’s faint title hopes and condemn Al Shaab to relegation from the UAE top-flight league.
It was once again a night that highlighted Gyan’s swashbuckling form upfront this season as he claimed his second hat-trick in the Pro League campaign and increased his domestic league tally to 24 in 23 outings.
The Ghana captain’s final goal was amazing after leaving about three defenders in his wake with pace, power and supreme dribbling skills before firing a long-range shot beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.
Gyan scored twice in the first-half (12th and 45th) minutes to send Ain into a 2-0 lead, showing virtually no mercy for a fractured Shaab defence at the Khalid Bin Mohammed Stadium
