Sharjah end 23-year wait for league title

Sharjah: Sharjah FC clinched their first UAE Pro League title in 23 years after defeating Al Wahda 3-2 at Sharjah Stadium on Wednesday.

A brace from playmaker Igor Coronado in each half on top of a Welliton strike was enough for Sharjah to claim domestic honours in almost a quarter of a century, while Leonardo da Silva and Sebastian Tagliabue were on target for Al Wahda.

Sharjah cannot be caught by second-placed Shabab Al Ahli because of their superior head-to-head record. The Dubai side sit three points off the summit with the final round of fixtures to be played on Saturday.
